Guala Closures’ 2030 GHG Emission Reduction Targets Validated by SBTiGuala Closures Group, manufacturer of aluminium and specialty closures, has announced its 2030 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
This, it said, confirms they are meeting 1.5°C target, part of the group’s sustainability commitments to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 44% by 2030, from a 2020 base year.
Guala Closures has also committed to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, and fuel and energy related activities, by 25% per million manufactured closures, within the same timeframe.
The group has reduced its GHG emissions in 2021 on Scope 1 and 2 intensities by 40% from the 2016 base year.
Paolo Lavazza, Guala Closures group quality and sustainability director, said, “This is a hugely important step along our sustainability strategy pathway. To have our near-term target validated gives us, as well as our customers and suppliers, clear evidence we are on the right track. The SBTi is a highly prestigious organisation which has the intention to ensure the claims made by stakeholders about these targets are fully validated by scientific evidence. This gives everyone confidence in the process.”
