Jaguar aims for net zero emissions by 2039
01/04/2022
In addition, the company will cut average vehicle emissions across its value chains by 54%.
The goals, which are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), confirm the company’s pathway to a 1.5°C emissions reduction in line with the Paris Agreement.
It is working towards a net zero emissions across supply chain, product, and operations by 2039.
To achieve this, the company will decarbonise across design and materials, manufacturing operations, supply chain, electrification, battery strategy, circular economy processes, and up to end-of-life treatment.
To support its mission, Jaguar Land Rover has introduced the new role of sustainability director, appointing Rossella Cardone to drive its transformation.
She said: “As we move from climate ambition into action, we are now embedding sustainability into the Jaguar Land Rover DNA to minimise our carbon footprint across our value chain. Science-based targets tell us how much and how quickly we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions as well as keeping stakeholders informed about our progress.”
