The now indepently validated plans also include pledges to cut absolute Scope 3 emissions from energy and industrial sources by 55 per cent, and absolute Scope 3 emissions from forests, land and agriculture emissions by 39 per cent by 2032, against 2019 baselines.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement means Tesco has become one of the first companies globally to have specific targets focused on greenhouse gas emissions originating from &#8220;forests, land, and agriculture&#8221; validated by the SBTi. The supermarket giant has already adopted 100 per cent renewable energy, achieved an absolute emissions reduction from its own operations of 55 per cent against a 2015 baseline, and rolled out a network of 2,400 retail EV charging points. Moreover, the retailer has issued more than \u00a31bn in sustainability-linked bonds and supported a number of suppliers to have net zero plans in place by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>However, Ken Murphy, Tesco Group chief executive, said achieving the firm&#8217;s net zero by 2050 target would require further transformation in how its stores operate, how it produces products in partnership with suppliers, and how it engages customers. &#8220;We&#8217;ve led the way on action on climate change, from adopting 100 per cent renewable electricity across the Group, to scaling innovations in our supply chains,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We now must work even harder, in collaboration with our suppliers and partners, to achieve our goals. These ambitious targets, validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative, now provide us with a clear roadmap of action over the next ten years and beyond.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Under the retailer&#8217;s Planet Agenda, future activity will be grouped in six areas: improve products; decarbonise transport; reduce store emissions; support sustainable consumption; eliminate waste; and protect nature. Headline goals under this framework include becoming 100 per cent deforestation free across all primary risk commodities by 2025, rolling out a 100 electric home delivery fleet by 2030, increasing the proportion of sales of healthy food to 65 per cent by 2025, and halving food waste by 2025 &#8211; five years ahead of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal.<\/p>\n<p>Tanya Steele, chief executive of WWF, welcomed the SBTi-validation for Tesco&#8217;s emission targets, but warned the retailer must now continue to accelerate efforts to slash emissions across its entire value chain. &#8220;The effects of climate change and nature loss are already being felt around the world, and the food system is a key driver of these twin threats,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We cannot safeguard our future and limit warming to 1.5 degrees without urgently transforming the way we produce and consume food, from ensuring deforestation-free supply chains to tackling overconsumption of meat and dairy.\u202f &#8220;We are calling on all UK food retailers to match this ambition by setting science-based climate targets across their value chains and acting to put our food system on a sustainable footing, from farm to fork.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4122031\/tesco-roadmap-net-zero-validated-sbti\">Business Green<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/tesco-has-clear-roadmap-to-net-zero-validated-by-sbti\/\">Tesco has \u2018clear roadmap\u2019 to net zero validated by SBTi<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11031,6663,5753,2592,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-116051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-claear","tag-netzero","tag-roadmap","tag-tesco","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116051\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
