The ambition is to reach all scopes of net zero by 2045. This is in alignment to limit warming to 1.5°C.

Science-Based Targets Initiative Commitment

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is examining the company’s targets. It gives companies a clear way to reduce their emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. Over 6,000 organizations around the world are working with SBTi to set science-based emission targets, and Kalmar commits to contributing to climate goals.

Understanding  Emissions

  1. Scope 1: Direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by Kalmar, such as fuel for company vehicles.
  2. Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heat, and cooling.
  3. Scope 3: Emissions across the entire value chain, including those from purchased goods, services, and downstream product use.

  1. Sustainable Innovations: Kalmar will continue to invest in low and zero-emission products, a key focus since product use constitutes the largest portion of its value-chain emissions.
  2. Customer Collaboration: Kalmar will partner closely with customers to develop tailored solutions to their sustainability needs.
  3. Supplier Partnerships: Kalmar will work with suppliers to source innovative materials and components that reduce product-related emissions.
  4. Operational Reductions: The company aims for a 90% reduction in emissions within its operations.
