Net zero by 2040
In 2021, Urenco announced its commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040 as part of The Climate Pledge (partner organisation of the UN’s Race to Zero Campaign). The pledge calls on signatories to reach net zero carbon emissions 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement’s 2050 target.
We are proud to have joined more than 400 other companies who have committed to this pledge, playing our part in achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. This will involve:
- Measuring and reporting on greenhouse gas emissions on a regular basis.
- Implementing decarbonisation strategies in line with the targets of the Paris Agreement, including efficiency improvements, using more renewable energy, reducing materials usage and other carbon emission elimination strategies.
- Taking action to neutralise any remaining emissions with additional, quantifiable, real, permanent, and socially beneficial offsets to achieve net zero annual carbon emissions by 2040.
This commitment is a key element of Urenco’s Sustainability Strategy and a further demonstration that sustainability is firmly embedded within Urenco as one of our core values. From the valuable contribution we make to the low carbon economy to the socially responsible way we conduct our business, sustainability shapes our customer partnerships and guides our decision-making at all levels.
