Our Contribution to Mitigating Climate Change
Global warming has drastic implications for our planet. Extreme heat and rising sea levels have negative consequences for our ecosystems and both humans and animals.
In the Paris Agreement (only DE), participating nations set the themselves the global goal of limiting global warming to well below 2, ideally to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels. National climate goals have been defined accordingly. By 2040, the goal in Germany is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 88 percent and to zero by 2045.
Where We Want to Get
When it comes to climate protection, the S.OLIVER GROUP is guided by the results of climate research and supports compliance with the greenhouse gas reduction targets agreed in the Paris Agreement. In 2022, we therefore committed to the goals of the Science Based Target Initiative, an alliance of important environmental and climate protection organizations with the participation of the UN Global Compact, which supports the private sector in making its contribution to limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
In 2022, the foundations for this were laid in the S.OLIVER GROUP, in which the company categorized the three relevant emission sources (scopes) in accordance with the international standard protocol and surveyed them for the 2021 financial year. On this basis, scientifically sound greenhouse gas reduction plans will be calculated in 2023 and sent to SBTi for verification and approval.
