伍德承诺到2030年减少40%碳排放

据欧洲石油6月8日消息，全球工程和咨询公司伍德今天宣布其承诺将制定一个科学目标，到2030年将温室气体排放范围减少40%。这一绝对减排目标是以2019年数字为基准设定的。

该公司将正式向基于科学的目标倡议(SBTi)提交其目标，SBTi是一个全球认可的机构，支持雄心勃勃的企业气候行动。随着公司继续采取行动减少碳足迹，伍德的目标将使公司的目标远远超过《巴黎协定》确定的2摄氏度目标。

伍德对这些目标的承诺确保了公司除了为客户提供技术解决方案外，还对减少自身的环境足迹负责。这项工作包括风能、太阳能、碳捕获和储存、氢和废物转化为能源，以及帮助石油、天然气和化学品客户实现他们自己脱碳目标的解决方案。随着城市的不断发展，它还包括在建筑环境、设计、规划和提供可持续的、低碳密集的基础设施方面的工作。

为实现其对低碳未来的承诺，伍德将关注全球效率，包括降低其场地、设备和车辆使用的碳强度最低标准，提高可再生能源利用率，以及更可持续的采购政策。

Wood commits to 40% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030

Wood, the global engineering and consultancy company, today announces its pledge to set a science-based target to reduce its scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030. This absolute reduction target is set using 2019 figures as a baseline(1).

The company will formally submit its targets to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), a globally recognised body that champions ambitious corporate climate action. Wood’s target will put the company on a trajectory well beyond the 2-degree Celsius temperature goal identified by the Paris Agreement, as it continues to take action to reduce its carbon footprint.

Wood’s commitment to these targets ensures the company is accountable for minimising its own environmental footprint in addition to the technical solutions it provides to clients. This work covers wind, solar, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen and waste to energy, as well as solutions to help oil, gas and chemicals clients achieve their own decarbonisation targets. It also includes work in the built environment, designing, planning and delivering sustainable and less carbon intensive infrastructure, as cities continue to grow.

To achieve its commitment to a low carbon future, Wood will focus on global efficiencies including minimum standards to reduce carbon intensity from its sites, equipment and vehicle use, the increased utilisation of renewable energy sources and more sustainable procurement policies.
