Netherlands' Stahl to set Scope 3 carbon emission targets by mid-2022

Between 2015 and 2020, Stahl reduced its Scope 1 and 2 (direct) GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions by 37 per cent and has committed to a further 2 per cent reduction each year to 2030. Scope 3 emissions cover all the indirect emissions that can occur in a company’s value chain, including raw material acquisition, transportation and the end-of-life impact of its products.

By focusing on Scope 3 emissions, Stahl is committing to de-fossilising its supply chain and ensuring further accountability for its total environmental impact, the company said in a media release.

Michael Costello, Stahl Group ESG director, said: “Only by focusing on reducing Scope 3 emissions can we accurately align our de-fossilisation strategy with the global goal of limiting global average temperature increase to 1.5°C, as agreed at the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and the COP26 in Glasgow. We look forward to working with partners across our industry and value chain to make this happen.”
