Press release | Wereldhave commits to setting Science-Based
TargetsWereldhave is pleased to announce it has committed itself to
reduce carbon emissions to a level in line with what climate
science says is necessary. Wereldhave will set verifiable
science-based targets through the Science Based Targets initiative
(SBTi), which independently assesses corporate emissions reduction
targets against scientific best practice.As part of Wereldhave’s
revised CSR Strategy “A Better Tomorrow”, Wereldhave will have all
common areas operate at net zero carbon by 2030. Additionally, it
will help tenants and visitors to reduce their own waste and carbon
leading to a net zero value chain by 2050. To implement our target,
we will create a 2°C roadmap for each Full Service Center.Dennis de
Vreede, CFO, notes that: “We see it as our mission to improve a
more balanced everyday life for our customers. A better environment
and a low impact on the world’s resources plays a pivotal role in
tomorrow’s everyday life. We are committed to align our Full
Service Centers with the ambitious objectives of the Paris Climate
Agreement.”Sustainability consultant Brian Shaw of Metabolic said:
"In committing to science-based climate targets, Wereldhave joins a
growing global movement of corporates taking action. Not just doing
better,but doing what is necessary to keep us on track. We are
delighted to work with them on this journey towards a maximum 1.5°C
increase future."The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
mobilizes companies to set science-based targets and boost their
competitive advantage in the transition to the low-carbon economy.
It is a collaboration between CDP, the United Nations Global
Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund
for Nature (WWF).Wereldhave is currently determining, together with
Metabolic, it’s emissions of CO2 equivalent per square meter.
Wereldhave will publish the targets once approved by the Science
Based Targets initiative.
