Our commitments
Climate ambition
In 2015, the Paris Agreement fixed a minimal objective in order to maintain the global temperature increase below 1.5°C. Since the launch of the VoltAIRe programme, Zadig&Voltaire’s has always been to play a role, at its level, in achieving this target.
To this end, the brand wanted to define its objectives in accordance with scientific recommendations made by COP21, by joining the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi).
The SBTi is a coalition of four institutions - the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), United Nations Global Compact, World Resource Institute (WRI) and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) - which strives to define and promote best practices in order to fix climate objectives based on scientific recommendations and independently assess companies’ objectives. In May 2023, Zadig&Voltaire’s ambitious climate objectives for 2030, aligned with the 1.5°C target, were verified and approved by the Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi).
The latter are aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and their validation constitutes an important step in our continuous commitment to play a role in combating climate change at our level. In accordance with the objectives approved by the SBTi, Zadig&Voltaire is committed to:
• reducing by 46.2% the absolute greenhouse gas emissions of its Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030 compared to the reference year 2019, and to increasing its annual renewable electricity supply from 0% in 2019 to 100% by 2030;
• reducing by 55% per euro of turnover the GHG emissions of its Scope 3 from goods and services purchased, as well as transport and distribution upstream, within the same time frame.
