Ardagh to set targets for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

Ardagh has signed the commitment letter to set new goals to be reviewed and approved by the SBTi committee. This will help in reducing its carbon emissions and accelerating the implementation of future-oriented technology with the aim of achieving the European Union’s goal for carbon neutrality by 2050.

The company has committed to set science-based targets through the Science-Based Targets initiative. The initiative aims to encourage corporate climate action for a low-carbon economy.

Ardagh will set specific goals for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in alignment with the Paris Agreement 2015, where governments mutually pledged to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

 “Ardagh’s commitment to the SBTi demonstrates our continued dedication to sustainability,” said John Sadlier, Ardagh’s Chief Sustainability Officer. “Striving to achieve science-based targets is a natural next step for us on our journey to create a more sustainable world for future generations.”
