Climate impact and emission reduction targets
As a provider of end-to-end solutions, greenhouse gas emissions are generated throughout Elanders’ value chain. The greatest impact lies in the sea, air, and road transports that Elanders handles for its customers. Within Print & Packaging Solutions, the greatest climate impact is in the production of paper materials that are purchased.
To manage the company’s impact and related risks, the Group has adopted goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) has verified Elanders climate targets, ensuring that the targets are consistent with the latest climate science and the targets of the Paris agreement. Through this, Elanders commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in its own operations and through its activities in the value chain by 2050 at the latest.
- Overall net-zero target: Elanders AB commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.

- Long-term targets: Elanders AB commits to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 GHG emissions 90% by 2050 from 2021 base year *. Elanders AB further commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 90% by 2050 from 2022 base year *.
