Bureau Veritas, a France-based testing, inspection and certification services provider, has joined the Science Based Targets initiative, a group of companies that are demonstrating the highest level of ambition on climate and paving the way to a net-zero future.
As a member of this group, Bureau Veritas commits to aligning climate targets to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Specifically, science-based targets provide companies with a clearly defined pathway to future-proof growth by specifying how much and how quickly they need to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is a collaboration between CDP, World Resources Institute (WRI), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
Bureau Veritas said it will ensure that its low-carbon transformation is aligned with climate science. Its carbon emission reduction targets for 2025 are currently being analyzed by the Science Based Targets initiative.
