At COP28 our planet’s climate goals were redefined
At COP 28 (UN Climate Change Conference), our planet’s climate goals were redefined.
Globally, we need to cut our greenhouse gas emissions, compared to our 2019 baseline:
- By 43% by 2030 and
- By 60% by 2035
This will set a pathway to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
At S&T, we constantly monitor our operations with the aim of consistently reducing our emissions. Following COP28, we have had a look at how we align with the climate goals that have been identified.
This included our electricity, flights, transport and waste. Here’s our breakdown:
For 2024, we will look to include our staff commuting habits. Our aim is to reach a 60% reduction as quickly as possible. Here’s a couple of examples of what that could look like from our 2023 records:
- Reducing our flights by 36,000 km
- Reducing our waste by 410kg
- Reducing our kWh consumption by 19,000 kWh
