The Science Based Targets initiative approved Climecon’s climate targets

Climecon joins the Science Based Targets initiative and commits to emission reduction targets to mitigate climate change. The most responsible and climate-wise companies have set a public goal that is in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. Climecon is one of the first construction product manufacturing companies to have approved a climate target through the Science Based Targets initiative, shortly SBTi.

The validation confirms that Climecon’s climate strategy supports the transition to a sustainable economy and limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees in accordance with the Paris Climate Agreement and the latest climate science.

“Construction and housing have a significant impact on climate change, as they account for up to 30% of Finland’s emissions. The companies in the sector play an important role in meeting the climate goals. With the Science Based Targets initiative, we want to show that a responsible way of acting will continue to mean concrete actions for us We are a forerunner in our field, developing human-centric indoor air solutions that take into account the well-being of people, buildings and the environment,” says CEO Tommi Uksila.

By 2030, we will reduce all of the company’s direct emissions (Scope 1) and emissions resulting from the production of purchased energy (Scope 2) by 42% compared to 2023. In addition, we will set a public goal to reduce emissions in the value chain (Scope 3). We will reduce Climecon’s value chain emissions by 30% by 2030 compared to 2023.

“The climate goals accepted by SBTi are a significant step that increases the transparency, concreteness and measurability of Climecon’s climate work for our customers and other stakeholders. We will report annually on our progress”, comments sustainability specialist Emma Piha.

What is Science Based Targets?

Science Based Targets (SBT) is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies to participate in mitigating the climate crisis. The project’s drivers are, for example, the UN and the nature conservation organization WWF. Through SBT’s initiative, companies can set an emission reduction goal, the purpose of which is to slow down climate change. As the name suggests, the goals of the SBT project are based on climate science.

Good lighting is of paramount importance to kitchen staff, as it directly impacts occupational safety, work efficiency, and well-being. Adequate and correctly directed lighting reduces the risk of occupational accidents, such as those associated with knife handling and working with hot surfaces. When the light is evenly distributed over the workstation, and there is no glare, even a long working day does not strain the eyes. OptiLumo luminaires for hoods and ventilation ceilings are perfect for professional kitchens and offer particularly suitable lighting for kitchens and the ideal color temperature for cooking.
