The Science Based Targets initiative has endorsed Sir Robert McAlpine’s net zero targets, after a rigorous assessment<\/h2>\n

SBTi validation provides a consistent and science-based definition of net zero, meaning companies are better able to align their near and long-term emission reduction targets with the Paris Agreement\u2019s goal of keeping planetary warming to 1.5\u00b0C<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To achieve the net zero assessment, residual emissions must be permanently brought in line with SBTi criteria, as well as including the inclusion of all material sources of emissions, including indirect Scope 3 emissions<\/a>, and prioritises deep emission reductions of 90-95% by no later than 2050.<\/p>\n

Sir Robert McAlpine has developed an action plan to achieve net zero targets<\/h3>\n

Sir Robert McAlpine has committed to reducing absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions from purchased goods and services by 42% by 2030 and 90% by 2045 from a 2020 base year, building towards an overall commitment to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2045.<\/p>\n
