Herma's Goals Approved by SBTI

Packaging and product labeling manufacturer HERMA announced that its 2030 goals were approved by the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi).

HERMA’s climate goals were validated by the SBTi at the end of 2024, including the company’s goals to lower indirect emissions along the value chain.

The company is committed to reducing its own absolute GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 42% by 2030 compared to a base year of 2021. This goal also includes a 30% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services as well as from end-of-life treatment, such as in the form of recycling or disposal, by 2030. In addition, HERMA is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 emissions from upstream transport and distribution by 25% by 2030 compared to 2021.

"All of these goals are ambitious but achievable," said Marcus Gablowski, Chief Sustainability Officer at HERMA, in a statement. "The science clearly demonstrates to us that fast and decisive action is needed to limit the temperature rise. HERMA is pursuing this path with full conviction. The validation of our climate goal by the recognised SBTi is an important milestone in this regard. It shows: Our measures are based on a sound scientific foundation and we are making a contribution to achieving the 1.5-degree climate goal."
