The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved GKN Powder Metallurgy’s near-term and long-term greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and has also verified GKN Powder Metallurgy’s commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.
GKN Powder Metallurgy commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, from a 2022 base year. GKN Powder Metallurgy also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, downstream transportation and distribution, and processing of sold products 25% within the same timeframe.
