Trelleborg’s new climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative

Trelleborg has achieved its previous climate targets and is now adopting new targets for 2030. The Group is raising its ambition to reduce direct and indirect CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 75 percent by 2030 compared to the base year 2021. At the same time, a long-term target of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 has been introduced.

The new targets have now been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global initiative that supports companies in setting science-based climate targets in line with what is required to limit global warming in accordance with the Paris Agreement.

“We already achieved in 2024 our previous 2030 target of halving Scope 1 and 2 emissions, demonstrating our ability to deliver on our commitments. We are now raising the bar further. A 75 percent reduction by 2030 is a highly ambitious target, particularly as the remaining emissions are the most complex to reduce. Through focused and structured efforts to improve energy efficiency, combined with continued investments in renewable energy, we have a clear roadmap to reach our goal,” says Peter Nilsson, President and CEO of Trelleborg.

The new net-zero target means that Trelleborg Group will achieve net-zero emissions across the entire value chain (Scope 1, 2 and 3) no later than 2050. The target provides a clear long-term direction for climate efforts and confirms Trelleborg’s ambition to continue to be a sustainability leader in its industry.
