Ambitious (science based) long term GHG reduction targets of 50% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions and 20% reduction in value chain emissions by 2025 against a 2016 baseline.
Verco worked with Molson Coors to develop a full value chain GHG model to account for the full impact of their products, using this model we were able to work with the sustainability team and help them set ambitious long term GHG reduction targets of 50% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions and 20% reduction in value chain emissions by 2025 against a 2016 baseline. This target has since been accredited by the SBTI as being science based.
