Important steps in sustainable care
- Since 2019, we have reduced our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 46 percent. We did not reach our target of a 50 percent reduction by 2025, but we have taken significant steps in the right direction.
- We will now continue our efforts to reduce emissions through new science-based climate targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target.
- 2025 marks the first year that Ambea reports in accordance with the EU’s new CSRD requirements, strengthening governance and transparency in our sustainability reporting.
