Mets\u00e4 Board, a leading European producer of fresh fibre paperboards and part of Mets\u00e4 Group, has received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its updated near-term emissions reduction targets. Mets\u00e4 Board has had SBTi validated targets in place since 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the update, Mets\u00e4 Board extends its climate targets beyond its own production to address greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain. This reflects a shift from focusing solely on operational emissions to managing climate impacts throughout the lifecycle of its products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of this expanded approach, Mets\u00e4 Board has introduced a new Scope 3 target covering emissions from the end-of-life treatment of sold products, committing to reduce these emissions by 25% by 2030 from the 2024 baseline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, the company commits that 47% of its suppliers by spend \u2013 covering purchased goods and services, capital goods and upstream transportation and distribution \u2013 will have science-based targets by 2030, further strengthening climate action across the value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The updated Scope 1 and 2 target reflects a broader accounting of all greenhouse gases and does not change Mets\u00e4 Board\u2019s earlier ambition to phase out fossil energy in production by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMets\u00e4 Board has already reduced its emissions significantly and today operates with 93% fossil\u2011free energy in its production. By extending our targets to cover end\u2011of\u2011life emissions of our paperboards, we are supporting our customers in reducing packaging-related climate impact, for example through our recyclable materials and packaging design collaboration,\u201d says Esa Kaikkonen<\/strong>, CEO of Mets\u00e4 Board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mets\u00e4 Board, a leading European producer of fresh fibre paperboards and part of Mets\u00e4 Group, has received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its updated near-term emissions reduction targets.
