Climate impact and emission reduction targets
As a provider of end-to-end solutions, greenhouse gas emissions are generated throughout Elanders’ value chain. The greatest impact lies in the sea, air, and road transports that Elanders handles for its customers. Within Print & Packaging Solutions, the greatest climate impact is in the production of paper materials that are purchased.
To manage the company’s impact and related risks, the Group has adopted goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To ensure that the goals are consistent with the latest climate science and the goals of the Paris Agreement, Elanders has committed to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Through this, Elanders commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in its own operations and through its activities in the value chain by 2050 at the latest.
2030
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions within scope 1 and scope 2 by 50 percent and reduce emissions within scope 3 related to own operations by 30 percent.
2040
Reduce emissions within scope 1 and scope 2 by 75 percent.
2050
The Group should have achieved net zero emissions over the entire value chain.
The first step is to reduce the group’s greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations (scope 1 and 2) by 50 percent and value chain emissions (scope 3) attributable to its own operations by 30 percent by 2030. The base year for the goals regarding scope 1 and scope 2 is 2021. A recalculation of base year data was done in 2023. For the goal regarding scope 3, the base year is 2022. Elanders is now working to ensure that each subsidiary has an action plan for emission reductions in line with the set goals.
