Geodes climate obligations are validated by the Science -based Goals initiative (SBTI)
Geodis announced that SBTI has agreed to the goal of reducing science -based emissions in the short term.
SBTI approval of Geodis admits to address climate change and confirms that the group’s strategy is compatible with the Paris Agreement for the year 2015, and seeks to reduce global temperature to 1.5 ° C by the end of this century.
- In the 1 and 2 range, Geodis, from 2022 to:
- A 42 % absolute reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) related to energy consumption by 2030.
- In Range 3, Geodis has 4 goals in the short term in the same time frame (2022-2030):
-
- Absolute reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from fuel -related activities and energy unlikely in range 1 and 2 out of 25 percent.
- The goal of reducing density with 25 % Grin emissions for each TKM of shipping, roads, and railways that have been contracted from the subcontractor, and the coverage of transportation and distribution.
- Absolute decrease in domain emissions 3 grams of transportation and distribution by 25 percent (air transport).
- Finally, an absolute decrease in greenhouse gas emissions by 42 % to use the products sold.
Framing these goals are the comprehensive group strategy to push carbon removal in all areas of business and regions. The group’s experience, strategic partnerships, innovation and commitment to continuous improvement are the main enabling factors of this strategy, which focus on achieving measurable progress in reducing emissions.
“When you receive this SBTI’s health, we enhance our design on contributing useful in combating climate changeMary Christine Lombard, CEO of Geodis, said.Sustainability is at the heart of our long -term strategy, and we believe that our social and environmental commitment will benefit not only our operations but also customers, partners and societies that we serve“
The company has set clear carbon removal paths for each line of business, with a special focus on transferring its fleet to alternative energy sources and choosing partners who behave in the same direction. This means accelerating the increase in electrical technology and fuel from vital sources and building the infrastructure needed to support these changes.
“In addition to converting our own fleet, we are committed to reducing emissions in all forms of transportation in our operations,” said Virginie Delcroix, Vice President of Sustainability at Geodis. “By using the best group of transportation, increasing the use of marine fuel and sustainable aviation, and by improving the efficiency of all transport resources, we support our customers in achieving their climatic goals. We are proud to verify the validity of our goals by SBTI. This important features reflect our leadership and commitment to this decisive transition.”
The work of the geodes climate extends beyond the elaboration of the fleet. It includes an ambitious plan to reduce carbon emissions at the company’s sites by 2030, which aims to improve 40 % in energy efficiency and ensure that at least 90 % of the energy used comes from low carbon sources. All new site projects include strict environmental standards.
To ensure the long -term success of these initiatives, Geodis takes advantage of digital tools to improve guidance, loading and energy efficiency, and to pay awareness campaigns continuously to enable its teams through climatic knowledge. The company’s leadership team participates directly with the standards related to the climate that already integrated in compensation for the CEO. Environmental factors are also considered in major decision -making processes, such as investments and acquisitions.
Through these measures, the group clarifies its commitment to address climate change and contribute to international efforts to reduce global emissions.
