Unilever on a 2°C trajectory by 2030 with key challenges linked to Scope 3 emissions

Planet Tracker’s latest analysis of CA100+ companies reveals that Unilever’s current emissions mitigation strategies are falling short of a 1.5°C pathway, missing emission targets set by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) by 45% when it comes to total GhG emissions, leaving it on track for a 2ºC warming scenario by 2030. The consumer goods giant is exposed to overall financial risk of 42% of its current three-year annual operating profit by the end of the decade, around USD 4.4 billion.

Energy and food systems must work together to achieve 1.5°C by stopping deforestation and halving methane emissions

To have any hope of limiting climate heating to 1.50C: stopping deforestation and cutting methane emissions by 45% before 2030 are essential to meet our interlinked climate, nature and development goals and significantly reduce the food system’s GhG footprint. Transforming the energy system alone will not be sufficient. Unfortunately, many financial institutions have been ignoring the problems of deforestation and methane emissions for far too long. 61% of financial institutions covered by Global Canopy’s latest Forest 500 survey do not have any policies to tackle deforestation in their lending or investment portfolios. With only seven years left to achieve these targets, action must be taken now.
