Husqvarna Group Sets Ambitious Climate Goals: Validation by Science Based Targets Initiative

Husqvarna Group Achieves Important Climate Validation

Husqvarna Group, a key player in innovative outdoor solutions, has recently achieved significant recognition for its commitment to combating climate change. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), an organization dedicated to encouraging companies to establish science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets, has validated Husqvarna's GHG emissions reduction goals. This validation confirms that Husqvarna's targets are in line with the SBTi Net-Zero Criteria, highlighting their dedication to sustainable development.

The validation encompasses a comprehensive assessment of Husqvarna Group's climate ambitions, which include a target for net-zero emissions and an updated near-term emissions reduction goal. Specifically, Husqvarna AB has committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 across its entire value chain. Furthermore, the group aims to reduce absolute emissions in Scope 1, 2, and 3 by 60.28% by 2030 and by an impressive 90% by 2050, using 2015 as the baseline year. This commitment acknowledges the various aspects of emissions, including those from their own operations, energy usage, and significant value-chain emissions.

Glen Instone, the CEO of Husqvarna Group, emphasized the importance of this validation, stating, "Having our climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative is an important confirmation that Husqvarna Group's climate targets are both ambitious and credible under the SBTi's criteria." He further elaborated that sustainability is not just a buzzword for the company but a core strategic priority that drives their operational decisions. This validation serves as a validation of their science-based approach towards sustainability and provides clear guidance for their efforts to reduce emissions holistically across the value chain.

The validated targets will steer Husqvarna Group's ongoing sustainability initiatives and are embedded into the company’s overarching business strategy. With this announcement, Husqvarna ensures transparency and accountability towards stakeholders, including customers and investors, about their long-term climate objectives.
