Corbion Speeds up Emission Reductions, Sets New Targets

Corbion is actively pursuing more aggressive emission reduction targets newly validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the global body enabling businesses to set emissions reduction targets in line with the latest climate science. The new reduction goals align with the ambition to limit average global temperature rise to 1.5 °C.

“The climate crisis poses a threat to virtually every aspect of civilization, our environment, and the global economy,” said Olivier Rigaud, CEO of Corbion, “so it is essential that we continually look for ways to reduce the impact of our businesses. At Corbion, we knew we were ahead of schedule in pursuing our initial targets, and we were still discovering more opportunities to do better, so we agreed that we would aim even higher. When it comes to reducing the impact of climate change, there is no such thing as overachieving.”
