Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approval reaffirms Lecta’s commitment to decarbonisation and climate change mitigation
Lecta has taken a significant step forward in its unwavering commitment to sustainability. The company’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets for 2030 have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
SBTi is a global corporate climate action organization that provides standards, tools, and guidance to enable businesses and financial institutions worldwide to meet emissions reduction goals, limit global warming, and achieve a net-zero carbon economy.
Following a rigorous review process by its validation team, SBTi has approved Lecta’s ambitious Scope 1 and Scope 2 targets, confirming their alignment with the 1.5°C pathway goal. This threshold represents the maximum global temperature increase established under the Paris Agreement of 2015.
With SBTi’s endorsement and in line with its criteria, Lecta has committed to a 40% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2030, using 2021 as the baseline year.
To ensure maximum transparency and accountability, Lecta will publicly report its progress on these goals, as required by SBTi.
In line with its ESG strategy, Lecta will continue promoting investments and projects aimed at achieving its decarbonization targets to help mitigate global warming. Find out more about Lecta’s GHG emission reduction efforts in its 2023 Sustainability Report.
