Jaguar Land Rover has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its operations by 46% by 2030. The company will cut average vehicle emissions across its value chains by 54%, including a 60% reduction throughout the use phase of its vehicles.
The goals, which are approved by the Science-Based Targets initiatives, confirm the company’s pathway to a 1.5°C emissions reduction in line with the Paris Agreement and aim for net-zero carbon emissions across the supply chain, products, and operations by 2039. The commitment by the company meets the most ambitious goal set in Paris.
It has introduced the new role of Sustainability Director, appointing Rossella Cardone to drive its transformation and support François Dossa, Executive Director, Strategy and Sustainability. It first announced its commitment to the SBTi as part of its support for the climate change summit COP26 held in November 2021.
The Director and Head of Sustainability Office at Jaguar Land Rover Rossella Cardone said, “Science-based targets tell us how much and how quickly we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions as well as keeping stakeholders informed about our progress.”
