Travel management company CWT has announced
it has signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions.
Science Based Targets is a joint initiative by the Carbon Disclosure Project, the United Nations Global Compact, the
World Resources Institute and World Wildlife Fund for Nature. It sets emissions reduction targets that are
consistent with the level of decarbonisation that, according to climate
science, is required to keep global temperature increase within 1.5ºC to 2ºC,
compared to pre-industrial temperature levels.
“I
am delighted to share that, as part of our commitment to defining bold actions
to go further against climate change, we are working on building a robust
programme based on climate science, by setting Science Based Targets,” said Françoise Grumberg, CWT’s VP, global responsible business
and diversity & inclusion. “We will be collaborating closely with our
entire value chain on how to support each other in reaching our climate
targets, further contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and work
towards transitioning to a low-carbon economy.”
