FAQ

What is SCA Group’s approach to climate action?

SCA Group’s approach focuses on developing its climate capabilities, supporting emissions reduction and aligning its long-term environmental objectives with recognised international climate frameworks. Climate action is treated as a continuous process that requires ongoing assessment, development and organisational commitment.

What is the UN Global Compact Climate Ambition Accelerator?

The UN Global Compact Climate Ambition Accelerator is a programme designed to help participating companies develop the knowledge and capabilities required to progress towards science-based emissions reduction targets aligned with the 1.5°C pathway and net-zero objectives.

How is SCA Group working towards net-zero emissions?

SCA Group is developing its approach towards emissions reduction in support of the longer-term objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. This includes strengthening internal knowledge, assessing climate-related priorities and progressing towards measurable emissions reduction targets.

What are science-based emissions reduction targets?

Science-based emissions reduction targets are greenhouse gas reduction targets aligned with current climate science and the level of decarbonisation required to limit global temperature increases. They provide organisations with a structured basis for establishing measurable and credible emissions reduction objectives.

Why is climate action relevant to logistics operations?

Climate action is increasingly relevant to logistics because transport, fuel consumption, procurement, infrastructure and supply-chain activities can all contribute to environmental impact. Effective climate management therefore requires organisations to consider emissions and environmental factors alongside operational requirements.

How does climate action fit within SCA Group’s wider sustainability approach?

Climate action forms part of SCA Group’s broader sustainability framework alongside environmental, social and governance considerations. This allows climate-related objectives to be considered within the wider context of responsible operations, governance and long-term organisational development.
