Promega Receives SBTi Validation for Near-Term Science-Based Emissions Reduction Targets
Promega Corporation has received approval from the Science Based Targets initiative for its near-term emissions reduction targets, developed to reflect the current status of climate science. SBTi is a corporate climate organization that develops standards, tools and guidance for setting greenhouse gas emissions reductions targets in line with what is needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
“These goals aren’t just a commitment, they represent a verified plan with third-party accountability built in,” says Corey Meek, Corporate Responsibility Program Manager at Promega. “Our SBTi-validated targets reflect a comprehensive understanding of our greenhouse gas emissions across our entire value chain and set a clear, science-aligned standard for what we aim to achieve by 2030.”
In the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, purchasing from suppliers with science-aligned emissions targets is increasingly important for aligning with organizational sustainability goals. Procurement teams look for third-party validation to simplify their supply chain analysis and compliance. While Promega has long reported progress on internal sustainability goals, SBTi approval adds a layer of accountability for customer procurement teams and sustainability officers.
Promega recently achieved 100% renewable electricity across its global operations, a key step toward meeting its Scope 1 and 2 reduction targets. The company is already engaging with its suppliers to support their exploration of science-based targets and focusing on absolute reductions for capital goods and business travel.
