Republic Services Inc. (RSG) said its emissions reduction target
was approved by the Science Based Targets initiative as consistent
with levels required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The company last month said its long-term sustainability goals
include a climate change target designed to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 35%. Republic Services said it aims to reach this goal
by 2030, using 2017 as the baseline year.
The Science Based Targets initiative is a collaboration between
CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute
and the World Wide Fund for Nature.
