Envases Europe Commits to Ambitious Environmental Initiative
Envases Europe recognizes the extreme climate crisis the world is facing and is dedicated to making a change. This year, Envases Europe has committed to the Science Based Target initiative and is now preparing to define and submit its near-term targets. By working with science-based targets, the company dedicates its efforts to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, limiting further environmental damage, and securing its sustainable approach for the future.
“By providing sustainable packaging solutions, we are working towards a world where food, natural resources, and energy are used more mindfully,” says Dan Aggertoft Christensen, President of Envases Europe.
- The Science Based Targets initiative is an ambitious and results-driven organization that is invested in upholding the outcomes of the 2015 Paris Agreement and the 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It is a collaboration between the CDP, United Nations Global Impact, World Resource Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). By working closely with each committed corporate company, the Science Based Targets initiative helps set and define realistic and ambitious targets.
Envases Europe’s commitment to a near-term target is the first in a line of crucial steps. The commitment is binding and is the result of a strong collaboration in the value chain and across Envases’ European locations. Together, they have completed a thorough mapping of the existing conditions to be able to locate where there is potential for significant improvement. This data is the baseline for defining the action points of the second step. The second step is to define each near-term target precisely and then submit them for approval by the Science Based Targets initiatives organization. The near-term targets must be met by 2030.
Envases Europe aims to submit their near-term targets for approval in 2023. Envases Mexico, the North American division of Envases, has also committed to the Science Based Targets initiative.
