Net zero by 2040
While our products can help deliver our vision for a cleaner, healthier world, we must ensure we make them in ways that lower our own environmental impact.We have updated our net zero roadmap for Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions in line with our more ambitious 2030 target, putting it firmly on the 1.5°C pathway to net zero. We have also submitted our 2040 goal as our long-term net zero target for approval by Science-based targets Initiative (SBTi) under their Net Zero Standard. During the year, each of our businesses has developed a detailed roadmap for improving energy efficiency, switching to lower-carbon forms of energy and reducing the emissions our chemical processes generate. These roadmaps are used for making business investment decisions and monitoring progress to our targets.
