STOCKHOLM--Swedish industrial tool maker Atlas Copco AB said
Friday that it has set science-based targets to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The company said it aims to reduce emissions from its own
operations in line with keeping the global temperature rise below
1.5 degrees Celsius, and to reduce emissions from the value chain
in line with keeping well below a 2 degree Celsius temperature
rise.
The goals are validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative,
it added.
"We are significantly raising our climate ambitions by setting
absolute reduction goals for the entire value chain," said Chief
Executive Mats Rahmstrom.
"The absolute majority of our impact comes from the use of our
products and this is where we can make the most impact. We will
continue to develop energy-efficient solutions that enable
customers all over the world to lower their greenhouse gas
emissions."
Atlas Copco's targets will be implemented from 2022, it
said.
