Insights into Ucb's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways

As of 2024, Ucb has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.

Does Ucb have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?

As of 2024, Ucb has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.

Ucb's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 73% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 49,375 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019.

As of 2024, Ucb is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 76.71% of the planned reduction.
