Holcim has submitted its 1.5°C-aligned 2030 targets for SBTi validation, and is engaging with organisations at Climate Week NYC to scale up the framework’s deployment.

Jan Jenisch, the chief executive officer of Holcim, said “Taking a rigorous, science-driven approach on this journey, we partnered with the SBTi to create the 1.5°C-aligned framework for the sector. Today we submit our 2030 net-zero targets in line with this framework and encourage all our peers to join us to scale up our impact together.”
