Ardo’s commitment to the
Science-Based Targets initiative
Recognising the need to mitigate Ardo’s climate impact and
minimise our carbon footprint across the entire value chain,
we decided to align our emission reduction targets with the
latest climate science. In December 2023, we formalised our
dedication to climate mitigation by signing the Science-Based
Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment letter. Specifically, for
our scope 1 and 2 emissions, we follow the pathway aimed at
limiting global warming to 1.5°C. For our scope 3 emissions,
we are following the pathway well below 2°C. As part of our
SBTi roadmap, we will distinguish between FLAG (forest, land,
agriculture) and non-FLAG emissions.
We are currently in the process of developing our sciencebased reduction targets. We commit to presenting these
targets within the next 24 months, subject to approval by
SBTi.
Ardo's CEO, Gabrielle Kalkwijk,
signing the SBTi commitment letter
The Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is a
non-profit and multi-stakeholder climate initiative,
led by CDP, the UN Global Compact, the World
Resources Institute and the World Wildlife Fund.
It provides a comprehensive methodology for
companies to establish carbon reduction targets
aligned with the scientific imperatives outlined in
the Paris Agreement.
