Koninklijke Philips NV said Thursday that it is aiming for at
least 50% of its suppliers to commit to science-based targets for
reducing carbon emissions by 2025.
Emissions-reduction targets are considered to be science-based
if they are in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement: limiting
global warming to well-below 2 degrees Celsius and pursuing efforts
to limit it to 1.5 degrees.
"Philips will take an active role in supporting and
incentivizing its suppliers to bring about the changes needed to
meet science-based emission-reduction targets within their
organizations," it said.
Philips estimates that, if successful, the decarbonization of
its supply chain will have an impact seven times greater than the
reduction of emissions from its own operations.
