Swissport International is committing to be 100% carbon-neutral by 2050, to be achieved through the decarbonisation of its operations and supply chain.
In conjunction, the company is committing to both material near-term carbon reduction and net-zero targets by 2050 through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
The ambitious goal will be realised through a transition pathway addressing Scopes 1, 2 and 3 of carbon emissions—categories introduced by the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.
The global aviation services leader joins the ranks of companies taking measurable action as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
“Setting a target for net-zero emissions is of utmost importance for Swissport,” said Warwick Brady, president and CEO of Swissport International.
“Addressing climate change head-on is the most significant challenge of our time. In committing to targets which will be validated through the Science Based Targets initiative, Swissport makes a meaningful contribution to securing a sustainable future for the planet and for our business.”
The Science Based Targets initiative is a collaborative effort between the CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) that motivates companies to set ambitious and scientifically sound goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with global climate targets.
Companies participating in the initiative commit to defining and implementing targets that are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Swissport is pledging to submit its targets and undergo a validation process within the next two years.
Swissport intends to disclose a comprehensive transition pathway that addresses the challenges posed by climate change.Subscribe to the FINN weekly newsletter
