In a world facing pressing environmental challenges, the need for carbon reduction has become a priority for industries worldwide. The Transport and Logistics sector plays a key role in global trade and commerce, and the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) serves as a framework for empowering companies within this sector to establish ambitious carbon emission reduction targets.
Let us explore the significance of SBTi and how it is shaping the future of the Transport and Logistics industry.
What is SBTi?
The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is a collaborative initiative driven by several prominent organizations, including CDP, World Resources Institute (WRI), the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Its overarching mission is to support companies in aligning their emissions reduction targets with scientific evidence to hold global warming at 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. SBTi provides a comprehensive framework for the setting and validating such targets for companies across various industries.
The Transport and Logistics Industry's Role
The Transport and Logistics industry significantly contributes to global emissions due to the substantial fuel consumption of ships, trucks, airplanes, and other vehicles within the supply chain. As such, this plays a critical role in mitigating climate change, and companies are increasingly recognizing their environmental responsibilities and have started developing carbon reduction targets.
These carbon targets can cover emissions from various scopes, including direct emissions (Scope 1), energy consumption (Scope 2), and indirect emissions from the upstream and downstream supply chain (Scope 3).
Commitment to Net-Zero by 2050
As the Transport and Logistics industry continues to transform, JAS Worldwide has proactively embraced sustainability and carbon reduction. We are fully committed to establishing a science-based target in alignment with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) aimed at achieving Net Zero emissions by the year 2050.
Through our commitment to SBTi, JAS is setting clear and measurable targets and taking tangible steps towards combatting climate change.
Recognizing our industry's role in advancing and strengthening the global economy and understanding that collective action yields a greater positive impact, we invite our business partners to join us in making strides toward a more sustainable future.
Committing to becoming net zero by 2050 -or earlier- is a step in the right direction. By leveraging the SBTi framework, our efforts contribute to a healthier planet and inspire positive change while creating value for stakeholders.
