Kronberg, 31. März 2022 – Jaguar Land Rover will bis zum Jahr 2030 die Treibhausgasemissionen im Unternehmen um 46 Prozent reduzieren. Die durchschnittlichen Emissionen pro Fahrzeug sollen im gleichen Zeitraum über die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette um 54 Prozent, während der Nutzungsdauer sogar um 60 Prozent sinken. Diese Ziele gab der britische Premium‑Autohersteller jetzt bekannt. Überprüft und bestätigt wurden die Nachhaltigkeitsziele von der neutralen Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), einem international anerkannten Standard für Reduktionsziele von Unternehmen. Mit seinen Verpflichtungen befindet sich Jaguar Land Rover im Einklang mit dem ambitionierten Ziel des Pariser Klimaabkommens, die Erderwärmung auf 1,5 Grad über dem vorindustriellen Niveau zu begrenzen.
Wednesday 30 March 2022, Gaydon, UK: Jaguar Land Rover has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its operations by 46 per cent by 2030. In addition, the company will cut average vehicle emissions across its value chains by 54 per cent, including a 60 per cent reduction throughout the use phase of its vehicles.
The goals, which are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), confirm the company’s pathway to a 1.5°C emissions reduction in line with the Paris Agreement. The commitment by Jaguar Land Rover meets the most ambitious goal set in Paris.
By the end of the decade, Jaguar Land Rover will reduce its direct greenhouse gas emissions across vehicle manufacture and operations by 46 per cent in absolute value compared to a 2019 baseline. The company has also committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions per vehicle by an average of 54 per cent across the entire value chain, including a reduction of 60 per cent in the vehicle use phase.
Sustainability sits at the core of our Reimagine strategy, with the aim to achieve net carbon zero by 2039, as the creator of the world’s most desirable modern luxury vehicles. As we move from climate ambition into action, we are now embedding sustainability into the Jaguar Land Rover DNA to minimise our carbon footprint across our value chain. Science‑based targets tell us how much and how quickly we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, as well as keeping stakeholders informed about our progress.
