Ahead of Climate Week, a surge oftop apparel companies正在宣布他们致力于设定基于科学的目标,包括Gap Inc., NIKE, Inc., Levi Strauss & Co., GUESS, EILEEN FISHERandVF Corporation。超过90%的服装品牌的排放来自价值链。由于服装公司共享许多相同的供应商,因此采取措施减少供应链排放可以提高协作并在整个行业中创造效率。

致力于设定基于科学目标的其他新公司包括Cummins, Seiko Epson Corporation, Mahindra Sanyo, Merck, CVS Health, Olam, Telefónica, Veolia Environnement, Wyndham Worldwide Corporation和更多。加入的公司the Science Based Targets initiative to date represent an estimated USD $6.5 trillion in market value,roughly equal to the NASDAQ stock exchange,and are responsible for 750 million metric tonnes of CO2 emissions per year,可与1.58亿辆汽车相当一年。这companies span 35 countries and represent a wide range of sectors including manufacturing, power, retail, consumer goods, technology, chemicals, apparel, hospitality and banking.

Lila Karbassi, Chief, Programmes, UN Global Compact, one of the Science Based Targets initiative partners said: “As more and more companies see the advantages of setting science-based targets, the transition towards a low-carbon economy is becoming a reality. Businesses now working towards ambitious targets are seeing benefits like increased innovation, cost savings, improved investor confidence and reduced regulatory uncertainty. This is becoming the new ‘normal’ in the business world, proving that a low-carbon economy is not only vital for consumers and the planet, but also for future-proofing growth.”

So far,50家美国公司已致力于设定基于科学的目标,这比其他任何国家都要多。This demonstrates that the American business community is stepping up to drive climate action forward and confront the global challenge of climate change. U.S. companies participating in the Science Based Targets initiative represent USD $2 trillion in market value and are responsible for 166 million metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. Mars, which is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, last week had its target approved by the initiative.

基于科学的目标计划是CDP,WRI,WWF和联合国全球契约之间的合作伙伴关系。承诺的企业有两年的发展基于科学的目标,然后由倡议的专家团队对此进行密切审查。仅批准符合严格标准的目标。重要的是,设定基于科学目标的公司必须寻求不仅减少自己的运营中的排放,还要减少其价值链中的排放,这可以将整个行业推向更高效,更绿色的供应链。该倡议也是我们的意思是商业联盟的承诺之一。

As of today,基于科学的目标计划批准了总共72个基于科学的目标,包括今年41。最近已获得基于科学目标的批准的公司包括Adobe,Colgate-Palmolive,CVS Health,Eneco,Givaudan,HP Inc。,Kering,Kirin Holdings,Marks&Spencer,Marks&Spencer,Mars,Mars,Nestlé,Tesco和更多。
