Veralto Sets Ambitious Climate Goals with SBTi Approval

Veralto Corporation, a global front-runner in essential water and product quality solutions, has recently announced a significant milestone in its sustainability journey. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated Veralto's near-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets, solidifying the company's commitment to sustainability and climate change mitigation.

On September 17, 2026, Veralto's leadership communicated that the approval from SBTi marks not just an endorsement but also a strategic framework that guides the company towards achieving its environmental objectives. This validation corroborates Veralto's ambitious plans to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions while continuing to grow its business. The climate goals set by Veralto reflect a conscientious effort toward combating climate change and sustaining environmental health for future generations.

Veralto has set notable targets including a commitment that 60% of its suppliers will have established science-based targets by the year 2030. This commitment is crucial as it calls for collaborative efforts across the supply chain towards a sustainable future. Additionally, the company aims to cut Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 61% per USD value added by 2033, using 2024 as a baseline. This move emphasizes Veralto's comprehensive approach in addressing not just its direct emissions but those generated through its products’ lifecycle.

Furthermore, Veralto has articulated its objective of reducing combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 54.6% by 2033, drawing comparisons to a baseline established in 2023. These targets are indicative of Veralto's proactive stance in tackling climate-related challenges across all levels of its operations.

Jennifer L. Honeycutt, the President and CEO of Veralto, emphasized the company's dedication to making substantial reductions in emissions over time. “By delivering on these climate targets, our businesses will provide increased value for customers and end-users while helping to protect the planet for future generations,” Honeycutt stated. This assertion reflects not only a commitment to corporate responsibility but also the recognition of the vital role that businesses play in addressing climate change.

The assurance from SBTi confirms that Veralto's targets align with a 1.5°C climate change scenario, which is essential in today's context where global warming poses significant threats to environmental stability. Veralto's targets also denote the company's belief in continual business growth, despite the constraints posed by climate change initiatives.

Surekha Trivedi, Veralto's Senior Vice President of Strategy and Sustainability, spoke about the firm's cultural aspects that foster operational efficiency and a commitment to continuous improvement. “Since setting our Scope 1 and 2 targets, our team has made steady progress towards our sustainability goals,
