Rogers Net-Zero Targets Approved by SBTi
Rogers has achieved a significant milestone as its net-zero greenhouse gas emissions targets received approval from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), becoming the first national carrier in Canada to achieve this recognition. The company has already reduced scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 33% since 2019. Their action plan focuses on four key areas: increasing energy efficiencies, transitioning to electric fleet, expanding renewable energy, and engaging suppliers. Rogers aims to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050, while ensuring 80% of suppliers set science-based targets by 2029.
Rogers ha raggiunto un traguardo significativo poiché i suoi obiettivi di riduzione delle emissioni di gas serra a zero netto hanno ricevuto l'approvazione dall'Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), diventando il primo vettore nazionale in Canada a ottenere questo riconoscimento. L'azienda ha già ridotto le emissioni di gas serra di portata 1 e 2 del 33% dal 2019. Il loro piano d'azione si concentra su quattro aree chiave: aumento dell'efficienza energetica, transizione verso una flotta elettrica, espansione delle energie rinnovabili e coinvolgimento dei fornitori. Rogers punta a ridurre le emissioni assolute di portata 1 e 2 del 50% entro il 2030 e raggiungere emissioni nette zero su tutti i fronti entro il 2050, garantendo nel contempo che l'80% dei fornitori stabilisca obiettivi basati su scienze entro il 2029.

Rogers hat einen bedeutenden Meilenstein erreicht, da die Ziele für netto null Treibhausgasemissionen von der Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) genehmigt wurden, wodurch es die erste nationale Fluggesellschaft in Kanada ist, die diese Anerkennung erhält. Das Unternehmen hat die Treibhausgasemissionen der Scopes 1 und 2 bereits um 33% seit 2019 reduziert. Ihr Aktionsplan konzentriert sich auf vier Schlüsselbereiche: Steigerung der Energieeffizienz, Umstellung auf eine Elektroflotte, Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien und Einbindung der Lieferanten. Rogers plant, die absoluten Emissionen der Scopes 1 und 2 bis 2030 um 50% zu senken und bis 2050 netto null Emissionen in allen Bereichen zu erreichen, während sichergestellt wird, dass bis 2029 80% der Lieferanten wissenschaftlich fundierte Ziele festlegen.
