EOS is aiming to attain net-zero greenhouse fuel emissions by 2045 and has gained approval from the Science Primarily based Targets initiative (SBTi).
The 3D printing firm has established a set of science-based goal which might be ‘grounded in SBTi’s Web-Zero Customary.’ SBTi is a globally recognised company motion organisations that helps different firms in aligning with the targets of the Paris Settlement to restrict world warming to 1.5°C.
EOS’ targets – set in opposition to a 2022 base yr – embody a 42% absolute discount in Scope 1 and a couple of CO2e emissions by 2030, a 25% absolute discount in Scope 3 CO2e emissions by 2030, a 90% absolute discount in Scope 1 and a couple of CO2e emissions by 2040, and a 90% absolute discount in Scope 3 CO2e emissions by 2045. Scope 1 emissions concern those who an organization immediately generates, whereas scopes 2 and three concern oblique emissions.
To this finish, the corporate has developed a local weather roadmap based mostly on cross useful workshops and knowledge pushed emissions evaluation. It will cowl the electrification of the corporate automotive fleet, the transition to renewable electrical energy throughout websites, the event of extra sustainable supplies, and the elevated effectivity of techniques and processes.
“We’re proud to take this essential step towards a 1.5-degree future, reinforcing our dedication to significant local weather motion and to supporting our clients on their sustainability journeys,” mentioned Marie Langer, CEO of EOS. “Our validated science-based targets mirror EOS’ dedication to Accountable Manufacturing and our function in serving to drive sustainability progress inside the additive manufacturing trade.”
“We applaud EOS for setting formidable net-zero targets. From a buyer perspective, it is a important step that helps our personal local weather ambitions and reinforces the significance of sustainability throughout the additive manufacturing worth chain,” added Tibo Uyttersprot, Head of Sustainability at Materialise.
Björn Hannappel, Head of Sustainability at EOS, supplied: “As our objective states, we wish to speed up the world’s transition to Accountable Manufacturing. These targets will direct us inside EOS and the higher EOS GROUP as we proceed our sustainability journey sooner or later.”
EOS can be exhibiting on the TCT 3Sixty occasion within the UK this week from Stand F28.
