Hempel has been recognised for addressing the environmental impacts of its business.
Hempel has recently announced that it has received the B rating from CDP in its annual environmental disclosure and scoring process, regarded as the gold standard for corporate environmental transparency. Based on the data reported in the 2022 Climate Change questionnaire, Hempel has been recognised for addressing the environmental impacts of its business and ensuring good environmental management.
“We are pleased to receive a B rating from CDP in the first year of our participation in its extensive questionnaire. We are on a journey, guided by our Futureproof framework, and having our efforts validated externally is integral to making further progress towards becoming a sustainability leader within our industry. It is not a nice to have, but a need to have and we will continue to invest in actions towards achieving our ambitious goals,” has declared Michael Hansen, the president and CEO of Hempel A/S.
Through its targets validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative, Hempel is committed to reducing carbon emissions from its own operations by 90% by 2026, in order to help keep global warming to 1.5° C and respond to the increasing demand for environmental transparency from financial institutions, customers and policymakers. In addition to tackling its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the company has also further committed to reducing its Scope 3 emissions from across its entire value chain by 50% by 2030.
