De La Rue SBTi Targets Approved

The Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) has approved De La Rue’s near-term science-based emissions reduction target.

De La Rue has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 Green House Gas (GHG) emissions by 46.2% by the financial year 2030 from a base year of 2020. De La Rue has also committed to reducing its absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 46.2% within the same timeframe.

De La Rue’s environmental journey started in 2002 when it first reported its Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions followed, in 2003 with its UK operations becoming accredited to ISO 14001. In 2010 it started reporting annually to the Carbon Disclosure Project, in 2011 all sites became ISO14001 certified, in 2016 it signed up to the UN Global Company, in 2020 all UK sites were using 100% renewable energy, and in 2021 De La Rue committed to the SBTis, which have now been approved.
