Lucart joins the Science Based Target initiative

Reaffirming its commitment to share a sustainable future, the tissue manufacturer has joined the initiative to create a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Lucart, an Italian manufacturer of tissue products recognized for the Tenderly, Tutto Pannocarta and Lucart Professional brands, has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability by joining the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) to develop a greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy based on the latest scientific evidence and validated by third parties.

By joining the program, the company commits to setting specific reduction targets through 2026 for emissions controlled directly by the company (Scope 1), indirect emissions from the production of electricity, steam, or heat (Scope 2) and indirect emissions from the company’s value chain (Scope 3). In particular, the group has chosen to focus on the identification and development of short-term reduction targets, which are essential starting points for defining even more challenging climate strategies.

“For us, being part of this initiative is another step forward in the process we are carrying out, inspired by the ethical and entrepreneurial values that have always accompanied us. We are convinced of the importance of shaping a vision to contribute to the change of which we must all be a part,” commented Massimo Pasquini, CEO of Lucart Group. “The Science Based Target Initiative is asking us to do something else. Instead of being guided by what is possible or desirable, our actions should be driven by what needs to be done globally according to science,” he added.

Launched in 2015 from an agreement between the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), SBTi supports companies in defining best practices and setting evidence-based targets in line with the 2015 COP21 Paris Agreement on global warming (limiting global warming to less than 2°C compared to pre-industrial temperature levels, committing to limit it to 1.5°C). SBTi independently assesses the targets set by companies to increase their competitive advantage in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
