Sonova sets ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

We need to act faster than ever in order to avoid the most catastrophic consequences of climate change. Global warming is continuing at an alarming rate and the Paris Agreement, which aims to pursue every effort possible to limit global average temperature to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is at risk. Bold commitments, coupled with prompt climate action is urgently needed and that is why Sonova has committed to sustainably reduce our emissions.

The SBTi, has approved our submitted targets to reduce the:

• Absolute GHG emissions from our own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 78.3% by 2032 vs. 2019
• and the absolute GHG emissions across our value chain (Scope 3) by 32.5% by 2032 vs. 2019.

The measures we will take to limit global warming

Amongst the many actions Sonova will take to achieve these targets, we will: 

• Engage suppliers to join us on the journey to reduce GHG emissions
• Source materials with a lower GHG footprint e.g., move from virgin materials to recycled ones where feasible
• Optimize shipments e.g., by reducing the weight and volumes and increasingly shift from air to sea or ground freight
• Adapt and tighten corporate policies on business travel and company vehicles.

Together with more than 18,000 colleagues all over the world, Sonova continues to strive for improvement, driving impactful actions for our society and our planet.
