At Beiersdorf, we know that combating climate change is the central challenge of our time. That is why we have placed climate protection at the heart of our CARE BEYOND SKIN Sustainability Agenda.
In order to drive climate protection at all levels within the company, we pursue a holistic approach with the mission: We bring Climate Care to Skin Care. Therefore, we have set ourselves one of the most ambitious goals in our industry: By 2025, we want to reduce our absolute greenhouse gas emissions from Scope 1 + 2 and Scope 3 by 30% compared to 2018. Furthermore, we want to operate climate-neutral production sites without exception by 2030.
Bringing our climate care commitment to the next level, we set the target of achieving net zero emissions by 2045. As we have already met our Scope 1 & 2 target for 2025, we have also updated our short-term climate target in this context. The Beiersdorf Group is thus committed to the following targets, which were validated by the SBTi at the beginning of 2024:
- By 2032, we aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 70% and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 40% (vs. 2018)
- By 2045, we want to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 90% (vs. 2018)
Additionally, Beiersdorf Consumer has committed to reducing Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 50% until 2032, versus a 2018 baseline, to enable the Beiersdorf Group SBTI target. We will publish an in-depth Climate Transition Plan within 2024.
