SBTi approves ANDRITZ’s ambitious climate targets

Targets at a glance

ANDRITZ commits to:

• Reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030 (from a 2023 base year). This includes emissions generated directly by the company as well as emissions from purchased electricity and heat from suppliers.
• Reducing absolute scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 25% over the same period. These include, among others, emissions from the energy consumed by machinery and systems delivered by ANDRITZ during their lifetime operation. These emissions account for a significant portion of the company's total emissions.

ANDRITZ targets aligned with most stringent standard

The SBTi confirmed that ANDRITZ’s scope 1 and 2 target aligns with the 1.5°C trajectory, the most stringent standard currently recognized by the initiative. This classification confirms that ANDRITZ's climate action plans meet international best practice and are consistent with the latest climate science.

SBTi approval reinforces ANDRITZ’s role in industrial decarbonization

“We are very pleased with the SBTi’s approval. As a technology company, we recognize our responsibility in advancing the green transition both by supporting our customers with innovative solutions and by reducing our own emissions. This recognition confirms that we are taking the right steps, guided by climate science," said ANDRITZ CEO Joachim Schönbeck.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a global partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI), and WWF. It helps companies set science-based emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement.
