With the growing impact of climate change, our planet is experiencing more severe conditions. As droughts, fires and rising sea levels persist, we acknowledge the urgency of the situation and the need for collaborative action to preserve Earth’s resources. We’ve set ambitious goals to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30%.
Our road map to reaching this target includes:
- Achieving reductions through operational efficiency and product design improvements
- Reducing emissions from natural gas combustion by upgrading to more efficient manufacturing equipment
- Exploring renewable electricity options where we operate, while expanding our portfolio of renewable energy options
Our commitment to reducing emissions has been validated by the SBTi, whose science-based targets help companies establish a clear roadmap for reducing emissions. The SBTi reviews and approves these targets based on rigorous criteria. At Armstrong, our contributions are on track to limit global warming to well below the 2°C target.
