SFS receives SBTi validation for its climate targets

Media release – January 29, 2026

The SFS Group has made important headway in its climate strategy: Its short- and long-term emissions reduction targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in late 2025. In doing so, the SBTi confirms that SFS’s targets are compatible with the 1.5 °C target stipulated by the Paris Agreement.

SFS joined the SBTi in early 2024 and pledged to meet both short-term reduction targets until 2030 as well as a net zero target by 2050. The SBTi’s specific targets have now been confirmed. By 2030, SFS intends to reduce its absolute greenhouse gas emissions compared to the 2023 reference year by 60% in Scope 1 and Scope 2 (operational emissions) and by 25% in Scope 3 (value chain emissions). By 2050 at the latest, the company aims to reduce its emissions by at least 90% across all relevant scopes, which is in line with the SBTi’s Net-Zero Standard.

The targets validated by the SBTi supplement SFS’s existing in-house climate targets. While specific actions have already been defined for emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2, the SFS Group is currently working on a transition plan to gradually reduce emissions along the value chain (Scope 3).

SBTi validation strengthens the comparability and transparency of SFS’s climate targets and underscores its claim to a long-term decarbonization strategy.
