By 2030, this total emission will be reduced by nearly one third. As early as last year, the authoritative organization SBTI has certified that Siemens Energy’s emission reduction targets meet the requirements of the Paris Agreement and help to control global warming within the objectives of the agreement.
Siemens’ activities related to energy sustainable development have also been rated by CDP, an international non-profit organization, for the first time: the oil, gas and power business is rated as grade B in the rating from a to d.
Siemens energy has been actively promoting its climate neutrality program. The company previously announced plans to achieve climate neutrality in its business by 2030. According to the 1.5 ° C temperature control roadmap set by the Paris Agreement, the company’s absolute emissions (the sum of direct and indirect emissions from its own business activities, i.e. “scope I” and “scope II”) must be reduced by 46% by 2030. Now, the company further promises to achieve this medium-term goal in 2025, five years ahead of the original plan.
Siemens energy will fully realize the goal of using green energy based power as early as 2023. In fy2021, green energy accounted for 76% of the company’s total electricity use.
Siemens energy has also set an ambitious goal to reduce the carbon emission intensity corresponding to the procurement items belonging to “scope three – upstream” in the supply chain, and will achieve a 30% reduction by 2030.
