Zero emissions target confirmed by Science Based Targets initiative

The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) assists companies in setting science-based targets for greenhouse gas emissions, with a long-term goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

- We are very pleased that we have now received confirmation that the targets we have set are in line with the Paris Agreement's ambition to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our engineers and architects develop sustainable solutions in many assignments for customers and society, and it is also very important that we ourselves set high standards in our own business, says Agathe Schjetlein, Executive Vice President Sustainability in the Multiconsult Group.

Schjetlein points out that green transition is central to Multiconsult's strategy, and she believes it is crucial that companies also contribute to the work of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in their own business and thereby limiting climate change.

Multiconsult's climate targets:

• The Multiconsult Group is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2040. This means reducing direct and indirect emissions by 90 percent from the base year 2019.
• By 2030, the Multiconsult Group is committed to reducing its own direct and indirect emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 73 percent from the base year 2019. For business travel and purchasing of goods and services (scope 3), the target is a 30 percent emission reduction by 2030 compared to the base year 2019.
