Univar Solutions Sets Scope 3 Goal
Univar Solutions LLC, a global solutions provider to users of specialty ingredients and chemicals, took a significant step forward in its actions to support sustainable practices and drive impact through its supply chain. The company established a Scope 3 emissions intensity reduction goal and launched EcoScope, its supplier collaboration program focused on reducing Scope 3 emissions intensity.
In April, Univar Solutions became a member of Together for Sustainability (TfS), a joint initiative of chemical companies centered around advancing and aligning sustainability practices in the chemical industry's supply chain.
Alexa Colin, general counsel, corporate secretary, and executive ESG lead at Univar Solutions, is helping lead the company's efforts to fulfill its environmental commitments.
In 2023, Univar Solutions' global Scope 1 and 2 emissions were down by 19.9% from its baseline, marking a significant achievement. Colin announced the new goal to reduce its Scope 3 emissions intensity by 15% by 2030, as part of Univar Solutions' commitment to achieving net zero emissions across all scopes by 2050.
"I am extremely proud of our progress in meeting our environmental commitments and am particularly excited about this next step in our ESG journey," said Colin in a statement. "With our new goal of 15% intensity reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030 (against a 2023 baseline), we're focused on driving sustainable practices forward and looking to deliver environmental value throughout our business and global supply chain. Our partnership with TfS will play a crucial role in the success of our Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts."
By joining forces with 52 other chemical and ingredient manufacturers and distributors to collectively drive change and achieve sustainability targets, TfS membership will allow Univar Solutions to strengthen data sharing and supply chain advancement in key sustainability areas, including broader value chain emission reductions and a chemical sector Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Guideline that includes Corporate Accounting.
