Schmitz Cargobull AG has received official confirmation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) that its short- to long-term targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions meet the SBTi criteria. This means that the targets submitted have been validated according to climate science-based standards and are in line with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to below 2 degrees. The measures to achieve the targets include decarbonising the cold chain, the materials used and the company’s own transport logistics.
“Our goal is to align our economic activity and our products for a sustainable transport industry with climate protection. As a leading European manufacturer of semi-trailers, we have integrated our sustainability goals into our overall strategy as part of our corporate responsibility. We are committed to fair CO2 pricing and market-based incentives instead of distorting subsidies. The validation of our net-zero targets by the SBTi underlines the credibility of our commitment,” says Dr Günter Schweitzer, COO, Schmitz Cargobull AG. “The validation is also recognition of the excellent work of the entire Schmitz Cargobull team on the road to our science-based net-zero target. We have set ourselves this goal for fiscal year 2044/45.”
Specifically, Schmitz Cargobull is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by the financial year 2044/45.
