Science Based Targets (SBTi)
Valio is committed to Paris Agreement-aligned, science-based emission reduction targets (Science Based Targets initiative, SBTi), which guide companies in limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated Valio’s targets in 2021. Valio was the second Finnish food company to set scientifically assessed SBTi climate targets.
Concrete reduction targets for 2030
Valio’s SBTi targets focus on significant emission reductions across the entire value chain by 2030. The actions needed to achieve this target are promoted and monitored through Valio’s Climate Programme.
Our key targets are:
- We will halve greenhouse gas emissions from milk production per litre of milk received.
- We will reduce emissions from energy use at production plants by half.
- We will reduce emissions from milk collection logistics by one third.
Valio’s climate work is based on science and actions
The goal of Valio’s climate programme is to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the milk value chain. Valio’s climate work is guided by the Climate programme and Climate roadmap and emission reduction targets set in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Emissions reductions are integrated into the Valio Executive Board’s long-term incentive (LTI) scheme, which underscores the strategic importance of climate work for the company.
