Softcat has had two of its targets approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTI).
Having set a 2040 carbon net zero supply chain goal last May, the reseller has had its targets of slashing its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 45 percent by 2030 and by 90 percent by 2040 green-lighted by SBTi.
SBTi is focused on accelerating companies across the world to halve emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions before 2050, Softcat explained.
According to the Marlow-based reseller, Softcat is one of only 35 companies in the world – and just six in the UK – to have had their net-zero targets approved by the global body, which is seen as by many as a gold standard of environmental target setting and measurement.
Softcat CEO Graeme Watt described the SBTi milestone as “very meaningful but just the start”.
“It is fantastic that we have had our targets approved officially now as this keeps us laser-focused and motivated to drive change not only in our own organisation, but also work with our partners, supply chain, and customers on their social responsibility journey through the technology we provide”, he said.
