The company aims to reduce absolute scope 2 GHG emissions, which result from the company’s energy consumption, by 42% by 2030, using 2021 as the base year.  

Moreover, the company plans to cut scope 3 GHG emissions, associated with purchased goods and services, as well as the processing of sold products, by 51.6% per tonne of purchased raw materials within the same timeframe. 

The endorsement of ALPLA’s climate targets by the SBTi confirms that the company’s strategies are scientifically valid and meet stringent environmental standards.  

To achieve these targets, ALPLA has outlined six key measures, including enhancing energy efficiency, transitioning to renewable electricity, and collaborating with its customers to this end.

The company will also switch to post-consumer recycled materials and scale up its recycling efforts and other efforts aligning with circular economy practices. 

In addition, ALPLA is expanding its polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density PE recycling capabilities and focusing on lightweighting, design for recycling, and the development of reusable or biobased solutions. 

ALPLA started a proactive exchange with key suppliers this year to encourage sustainable practices in its supply chain.

After committing to the SBTi in mid-2022, the company updated its GHG emissions data and developed SBTi-compliant targets.  

These targets were submitted in early 2024 and received official approval last month.

ALPLA will now report its progress annually through the Carbon Disclosure Project.

Earlier this month, ALPLA received a gold medal by EcoVadis for its sustainability achievements.
