Developing business lines
Tekna is well on its way to having a thorough understanding of the emissions they directly influence. The focus today is on improving our understanding of up- and downstream emissions so we can establish an ambitious and achievable target for that scope.
Our emissions reduction plan is evolving and maturing with the improved awareness of our climate footprint across the value chain. Tekna has set a 50% reduction target by 2030 on scope 1 and 2 ahead of formally subscribing to the Science-Based Targets initiative.
