Action against climate change

Climate change is one of the major challenges of our time. Scientists estimate that unless humanity changes course quickly, many species will become extinct, food security will be threatened, and human activities will be compromised by 2100. We can already see the effects: temperatures are rising, leading to more droughts and more frequent and intense storms. These clear signals show us that we – individuals, governments, and companies alike – must act now and act fast, mitigating climate change by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG)*. As a world leader in the Food and Beverage sector, we understand the importance of taking concrete steps towards achieving carbon net zero and play our part in tackling climate change.

Our Net-Zero commitment

To focus our efforts on the right level of ambition, we have worked with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), an independent organization who provides the guidance and criteria to define reduction targets aligned with what the science deems necessary to achieve Paris Agreement Goals. SBTi reviewed and approved our targets in July 2024. Our ambition on Climate is clear: reduce emissions all along our value chain (scopes 1, 2 and 3) to achieve Carbon Net-Zero by 2050. To guide our progress, we have drawn up a strategy based on four intermediate commitments, each supported by a concrete action plan.

Commitments:

  • 25 % cutting our emissions by at least 25% by the end of 2025


  • 50 % cutting our emissions by at least 50% by the end of 2033


  • Carbon Net Zero by the end of 2050
