Perfetti Van Melle has signed up to the Science Based Targets Organization www.sciencebasedtargets.org.
The Science Based Targets initiative drives ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling companies to set science-based emissions reduction targets. By committing to science-based targets, Perfetti Van Melle has joined with other companies and organizations around the globe, all of whom are aligned with SBTi guidelines in lowering greenhouse gases.
Perfetti Van Melle Chief Sustainability Officer Andrew Boyd stated, "I’m pleased to announce this commitment on PVM’s behalf. Aligning our greenhouse gas emissions targets with the ambitious but necessary aims of SBTi is another significant step in demonstrating our Group value of social and environmental responsibility. By signing our letter to SBTi, we are committing to setting by the end of 2022, then delivering by 2030, the targets and emissions reductions that science dictates are necessary for us to play our part in reducing the impact of climate change during this critical decade."
