Packaging supplier Berlin Packaging has announced that its science-based targets of zero net greenhouse gas emissions, in both the short and long term, have been officially validated by the Science Based Targets (SBTi) initiative. This places the company among a select group of companies worldwide whose climate targets are aligned with the most ambitious model for meeting the 1.5°C threshold.
The company is committed to achieving zero net greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. Its targets: reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 44.8 % by 2030 and 90 % by 2050 (compared with 2022), reduce Scope 3 emissions intensity by 51.6 % by 2030 and 97 % by 2050 (per US dollar of sales, compared with 2022).
Berlin Packaging has already reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by more than 23 % since 2022, established a global Scope 3 reduction strategy, helped more than 80 brands launch sustainable packaging solutions, and supplied nearly 13,000 tons of post-consumer recycled materials.
"The validation of SBTi is more than just a milestone: it is independent proof that our climate objectives are real, measurable and aligned with the highest global standards.said Balaji Jayaseelan, Vice President Sustainable Development at Berlin Packaging. Our customers and partners count on us to lead with ambition and deliver results that help them achieve their own sustainability goals. This recognition inspires us to keep pushing the boundaries and build a future where business growth and climate leadership go hand in hand."
