This commitment ensures that the Company’s climate actions are aligned with the latest scientific recommendations to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Dorit Nelke-Bruhn, Sustainability Processes and Patents Manager at Wipak Group, said: “Whilst the latest climate science from the IPCC – described by the UN as “code red for humanity” – shows it is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, we are dangerously close to this threshold. Aligning ourselves with the SBTi is not only a commitment, but a strategic move that provides real benefits for the environment and positions us as a forward-thinking company that is fully prepared for future emissions regulations.
“This is exciting news for Wipak Group, with our involvement in the scheme helping to drive innovation in low-carbon products and improved operational efficiencies, giving us a competitive edge in the sustainability space.”
The Company is now working on developing its emissions reduction targets in line with the SBTi’s rigorous criteria. “This process involves a thorough assessment of our current emissions and setting ambitious science-based goals, which must then be submitted to the SBTi for validation,” explained Dorit. “This commitment marks a significant milestone in our journey towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future, and by embracing these goals, we aim to inspire other companies across our supply chain to adopt similar targets.”
