Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Services has validated that the science-based emissions reductions targets submitted by Sitowise Group Oyj conform with the SBTi Standards and Guidance. The goals are in line with the targets of the UN's Paris Climate Agreement and cover greenhouse gas emissions from scope 1, 2, and 3 categories.

Sitowise's participation in the Science Based Targets initiative is part of our vision of Redefining Smartness in Cities. In addition to advancing sustainability thinking in our client projects, we are purposefully reducing Sitowise's own sustainability impacts.

This validation confirms that Sitowise’s climate goals align with the latest climate science and are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.

The approved targets include:

  • A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 83 % by 2030.
  • A commitment to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions by 42 % within the same timeframe.

The comparison year for the objectives is 2023.

- We are proud to have our climate targets validated by the SBTi. This approval reinforces our commitment to climate leadership and drives accountability across our operations and value chain, says Heikki Haasmaa, CEO of Sitowise.
