SDGs
Carbon Emission Reduction Target
SKFH and its subsidiaries originally set 2019 as the baseline year and established the carbon reduction goal to reduce per capita GHG emissions by 2% annually and total GHG emissions by 2% annually for Scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions until 2025. However, at the end of 2022, SKFH signed up for the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) and set a net-zero target for 2050 with a 1.5°C reduction scenario, using absolute reduction methods, with the promise to reduce the sum of Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 34% in 2030 compared to the baseline year of 2022.
