Doing what science tells us to: reducing emissions
At Solina, we’re taking responsibility for the impact we have (and can have) in our own operations and our value chain. For perspective: 25% of all human-caused GHG emissions are linked to food, so ensuring a sustainable food system is going to be critical for years to come.
Our 2030 targets
42% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions
This target translates into concrete action plans for all our sites, which resulted in a 15% decrease for Scopes 1 & 2 in 2024.
25% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions
Over 98% of our carbon footprint is linked to our value chain, so we made GHG reduction an important goal in both our sourcing strategy and the way we work together with customers and consumers.
100% renewable electricity purchased by 2030, and 80% by 2025
Progress and highlights
Scope 1 & 2 emissions down 14.8% vs. 2022, with overall carbon footprint also reduced
In 2024, we saw a significant decrease in our Scope 1 & 2 emissions, thanks to the switch to green electricity in one more Solina region, as well as fewer fossil-fuel company cars. However, our Scope 3 emissions slightly increased, mainly due to the increase in raw material purchase, resulting in an overall higher footprint (+7.6%) compared to 2023. When looking at our base year 2022 for Scope 3, we can see a modest overall reduction of 1.4% despite our Group’s strong growth. Overall, our total carbon footprint decreased by 1.65% compared to the 2022 baseline.
Validation of our GHG reduction targets by the Science Based Targets initiative
Solina is now one of +7,000 businesses across regions and industries to have set emission reduction targets grounded in climate science through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
4 out of 7 Solina regions now fully run on green electricity
With Central Europe transitioning this year, 4 of 7 Solina regions are now fully powered by renewable electricity – an impressive milestone covering 30 sites: Canada, Central Europe, United Kingdom, Eastern Europe.
500 more colleagues participated in Climate Fresk workshops
Did you know ...
that our site in Izmir (Türkiye) is the first Solina site to reach its 42% carbon reduction target for Scopes 1 and 2?
