Munters commits to the Science Based Targets initiative

Munters is taking the next step in future proofing the company in line with the ambitions of the Paris Agreement. To be transparent on progress, we have committed to setting near-term company-wide emission reductions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). 

Climate control systems are pivotal in reducing the energy use of industries worldwide. By optimizing these systems, we enable our customers to reduce their environmental impact and help them achieve their sustainability goals. 

“Sustainability is core to our business. Our commitment to set science-based targets underlines our firm determination to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our operations and throughout the lifecycle of our products,” says Klas Forsström, President and CEO of Munters. 

While a portion of our carbon footprint originates from our own production and energy use, the majority comes from the utilization of our products. Therefore, we are committed to developing even more resource-efficient products and solutions. Moreover, we will continue to reduce our own energy use and make our processes more efficient. By committing to the SBTi, we will have our previously set targets for Scope 1 and 2 validated and set new targets for Scope 3. 

“By setting ambitious climate goals, we not only reinforce our own commitment but also aim to inspire the rest of the industry to move towards a more sustainable future,” says Klas Forsström.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis.
