SIMONA AMERICA Group's Goals Validated by SBTi

SIMONA AMERICA Group, a subsidiary of SIMONA AG, announced that the company's GHG reduction targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). 

The diversified manufacturer of thermoplastic products first signed up to the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) at the beginning of 2024 to ensure an effective reduction in the company's carbon footprint while also making a positive contribution to global climate change mitigation.

As part of these science-based targets, SIMONA pledged to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 42% in absolute terms by 2030, using 2022 as the baseline year. Additionally, the company has committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services by 51.6% per ton of manufactured product within the same timeframe. 

"The SBTi's confirmation of our climate targets is a significant achievement within our sustainability strategy. It illustrates that we are on the right track when it comes to making a genuine contribution to global climate change mitigation. Working closely with our partners and customers, we are doing everything in our power to achieve our goals in a determined and effective manner," said Johannes Kappler, Head of Sustainability at SIMONA AG, in a statement.

Through the increased use of renewable energy, process efficiency improvements and material innovation — including the expansion of the TERREFORM® line for the aerospace industry and the installation of more than 3,300 solar panels at the Archbald, PA facility — SIMONA AMERICA Group is actively contributing to the company's broader carbon reduction goals.

To achieve these targets, SIMONA AMERICA Group is implementing specific initiatives, including transitioning to green electricity, optimizing production processes, and increasing the use of sustainable raw materials.
