Accelerating towards net zero across all markets by 2050
"The climate crisis is not a distant threat. It’s happening now. And as technology continues to power progress, it gives us the tools to tackle it and transform the way we live for the better. At e&, we see this as both our responsibility and our opportunity to deliver on our sustainability targets, turning ambition into measurable action. This means acting with urgency, tracking and reporting our progress transparently, and driving sustainable growth that benefits our people, our business, and the communities we serve.”

Accelerating towards net zero across all markets by 2050
Our Climate Transition Plan outlines six strategies to decarbonise our most carbon intensive Scope 1 and 2 activities, including stationary combustion, electricity, mobile combustion and refrigerants.
By leveraging innovative solutions and optimising energy use, we aim to accelerate meaningful reductions, ensuring alignment with both corporate and global climate goals. This steadfast focus underscores our role as a leader in driving impactful change across the industries and communities we serve.
Energy efficiency involves upgrading equipment, optimising operations, and using AI to improve network and office performance.
Renewable energy purchasing focuses on corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) and international renewable energy certificates (I-RECs) to source cleaner electricity.
Free cooling and gas replacement targets emissions from refrigerants and fire suppressants by adopting low global warming potential alternatives.
On-site renewable generation, such as solar PV, provides a partial energy supply, with battery storage and diesel hybrid solutions for off-grid sites.
Fleet electrification replaces our current combustion vehicles with electric alternative, through challenges remain in the supply of cleaner shipping fuel in e-marine, however, alternative are being developed.
Carbon offsetting will address any difficult to abate emissions. This will be achieved through credible offset projects that align with SBTi requirements.
At COP28, e& committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its operations by 2050. In 2024, we launched our Climate Transition Plan: From Ambition to Action, outlining the practical steps needed to meet this goal. The plan focuses on decarbonising operations, investing in clean energy, improving efficiency, and building climate resilience. Aligned with global standards and science-based targets, it reflects our commitment to innovation, transparency, and long-term impact as we work to create a more sustainable future.
