Siemens achieves Science Based
Targets initiative (SBTi) validation for net-zero targets
The Science Based Targets initiative has validated
Siemens’ 2030 and 2050 science-based net-zero targets
Siemens’
near- and long-term emissions reduction targets align with the SBTi Net-Zero
Standard, supporting the company’s commitment to a low-carbon future
Siemens is pleased to announce the confirmation of its updated emissions
reduction targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Supporting
the company’s commitment to fostering a low-carbon future, Siemens’ near- and
long-term targets are now aligned with the SBTi Net-Zero Standard for Scope 1,
2, and 3 targets for 2030 and 2050. The SBTi Net-Zero Standard is the world’s
leading framework for corporate net-zero target-setting in line with climate
science. SBTi provides standards, guidance, and tools for companies to set
emissions reductions targets. This confirmation by the SBTi validates Siemens’
science-based net-zero approach which is fully aligned with the Paris
Agreement.

The SBTi has
validated the following Siemens targets:
Siemens’ near-term
targets
For Siemens’s own operations:
Reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse-gas emissions by 90 percent by fiscal
2030 compared to the fiscal 2019 baseline.
For the value chain, including
upstream and downstream activities: Reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse-gas
emissions by 30 percent by fiscal 2030 compared to the fiscal 2019 baseline.
Siemens’ long-term
targets
For Siemens’ own operations:
Maintain a minimum absolute reduction of 90 percent, compared to the fiscal
2019 baseline, for Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse-gas until fiscal 2050.
For the value chain, including
upstream and downstream activities: Reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse-gas
emissions by 90 percent by fiscal 2050, compared to the fiscal 2019 baseline.
“Achieving
the SBTi Net-Zero Standard validation is a testament to our unwavering
commitment to sustainability and our leadership in driving the industry toward
a net-zero future,” said Eva Riesenhuber, Global Head of Sustainability at
Siemens AG. “This confirmation reinforces our sustainability ambitions and
amplifies our efforts to empower our customers and suppliers to create a
resilient, low-carbon world.”
