FREYR Battery (NYSE: FREY) (“FREYR”), a developer of
clean, next-generation battery cell production capacity, joins the
United Nations Race to Zero campaign by signing the SME Climate
Commitment. As part of the commitment, FREYR pledges to halve its
greenhouse gas emissions before 2030, achieve net zero emissions
before 2050, and disclose progress on a yearly basis.
“We are on a mission to decarbonize the society for a better
planet. It is an obvious step for us to join the governments and
businesses around the world to take immediate action to tackle
climate change,” said Tom Einar Jensen, the CEO of FREYR.
The small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) Climate Commitment
provides SMEs with the opportunity to make an internationally
recognized climate commitment which is aligned with the latest
climate science. SMEs that make the SME Climate Commitment will be
recognized by the United Nations Race to Zero campaign and join a
wide range of governments, businesses, cities, regions, and
universities around the world that are committed to achieving net
zero carbon emissions.
“The science is clear, climate change poses a real threat to the
economy, nature, and the society. We are proud to join the other
SMEs around the globe on the journey towards net zero emissions.
Together, we can make a real impact in cutting the carbon emissions
to protect our planet for future generations,” said Elizabeth Tate,
VP Sustainability.
In November 2021, the UK is hosting the UN Climate Change
Conference (COP26) in Glasgow that helps accelerate collaboration
amongst governments, businesses, and civil society to deliver on
climate goals faster. In addition to signing the SME Climate
Commitment, Tom Einar Jensen, the CEO of FREYR will be speaking at
The Building a Better Battery panel led by the US Department of
Energy.
