Near-term science-based targets validated & approved

First goal achieved

"Evotec SE commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50% by 2032 from a 2021 base year. Evotec SE also commits to increase annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 25% in base year to 100% by 2026. Evotec SE commits to reduce Scope 3 GHG from purchased goods and services and capital goods 72% per revenue over the same period. Evotec also commits that 80% of its suppliers by emissions covering purchased goods and services and capital goods will have science-based targets by 2027."

Science-based targets balancing growth and responsibility for the planet

  • 100% Renewable electricity by 2026 (LTI goal 2023)
  • 50.4% reduction of Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2032, despite disproportionately faster growth than industry average
