Commitment to Science Based Targets

Sustainability
29 Jul 2019

Croda International Plc, the name behind high performance ingredients and technologies that are relied on by industries and consumers everywhere, today announces their commitment to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative.

Croda is one of the few companies within the speciality chemicals sector to commit to Science Based Targets (SBT), with the aim of restricting global warming to 1.5°C above the pre-industrial average. With reductions in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority, Croda has already established Group targets to achieve a 50% reduction in absolute GHG emissions based on 2006 levels by 2030 and an 80% reduction by 2050.

With more than 60% of the company’s raw materials already coming from bio-based sources, an industry leading position, Croda believes that that they are well positioned to not only reduce their GHG emissions, but to become ‘Climate Positive’. This ambitious target will focus on the use of more bio-based raw materials, and also through the ongoing work that Croda is undertaking to quantify the carbon savings derived from their products as they are used by their customers and the end consumers. In 2018, over 700,000 tonnes of GHG emissions were avoided through just four of Croda’s products in application. For example, Croda’s Coltide RadianceTM extends the lifetime of clothes, avoiding additional carbon and water intensive manufacture.

Terry Thistlethwaite, Vice President of Sustainability at Croda said: “We are proud to be one of around 600 companies taking science-based climate action and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by committing to Science Based Targets.

Our business purpose is to use Smart Science to Improve Lives, this is just one area where we are pushing ourselves and supporting our customers to have a positive impact on the planet and society. We will continue to lead the speciality chemicals industry with our approach to sustainability.”

The Science Based Targets initiative is a collaboration between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It signals an acceleration in the transition to a low carbon economy and supports companies who are already demonstrating they have the skills, expertise and ingenuity to make this a reality.
