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 is in line with our commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and translates into concrete action plans for our 42 sites. The focus is on process optimization and investing in new technologies.
-25% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions
Almost 98% of our carbon footprint is linked to our value chain, both upstream and downstream. In the GHG Protocol, these indirect emissions are called Scope 3 emissions.
100% renewable electricity purchased by 2030, and 80% by 2025
Progress and highlights
Total carbon footprint decrease by 6%
In 2023, we saw an overall increase in our Scope 1 & 2 emissions, due to strong growth and carbon reduction plans which have not yet materialized. However, thanks to a drop in Scope 3 emissions, we can report a total carbon footprint decrease of 6%.
Commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
In 2023, we committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which guides businesses on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate climate change, with our specific targets approved in November 2024.
