SBTi requires greenhouse gas emissions to be halved by 2030, and drop to net zero by 2050 at the latest. The company has already committed to reach a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
"By joining the SBTi, Sandvik will seek to get its sustainability targets validated against science-based criteria," a press release said. "This is a natural step in Sandvik’s sustainable business strategy."
