- Dassault Systèmes joins a growing group of companies that
are setting emissions reduction targets in line with what climate
science says is necessary
- Company commits to set a target based on SBTi criteria
within 24 months to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to meet
Paris Agreement goals
- Commitment furthers the scientific company’s mission to
harmonize product, nature and life through proactive,
sustainability-focused initiatives
Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) today
announced it has committed to set a science-based target through
the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global initiative
that helps companies establish science-based targets to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and transform business operations to fit
the future low-carbon economy. In doing so, Dassault Systèmes
commits to define a roadmap to reduce its emissions in line with
the best available climate science.
Targets adopted by companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
are considered “science-based” if they are in line with what the
latest climate science says is necessary to meet the goals of the
Paris Agreement. This international accord aims to strengthen the
global response to the threat of climate change and limit global
warming to well-below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels
and pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5 C.
Dassault Systèmes recognizes the crucial role the business
community can play in minimizing the risk climate change poses to
the future of the planet. By committing to set a science-based
emissions target, Dassault Systèmes is applying the same scientific
rigor it leverages for its customers to define how its own
operations will contribute to climate action.
“As a company committed to and based on science, it is only
natural for us to now aim for the highest standard in emissions
targets: the Science Based Targets initiative,” said Florence
Verzelen, Executive Vice President, Industry, Marketing and
Sustainability, Dassault Systèmes. “We are proud to join the
world’s leading companies in this effort, because we believe that
climate change is not only one of the world’s greatest risks, it is
also one of the greatest opportunities in history for sustainable
innovation.”
“The United Nations has called this period through 2030 the
‘Decade to Deliver’ in terms of climate because ambitious action is
needed now, not in a few years’ time,” said Alice Steenland, CSO,
Dassault Systèmes. “The Science Based Targets initiative is one way
for us to ensure that we at Dassault Systèmes are fully playing our
part both within our own operations and as we help our 270,000
customers transition to more sustainable models.”
As part of its mission to harmonize product, nature and life,
Dassault Systèmes provides technology that helps companies of all
sizes in 11 industries create human-centric innovations that
address today’s major social and environmental challenges, as well
as improve their own resource efficiency. This has enabled industry
to develop new medical treatments, pioneer solar-powered flight,
and design a sculpture that absorbs pollution. In 2018, Dassault
Systèmes was named Corporate Knights' “most sustainable company in
the world” in recognition of its holistic sustainability strategy,
which the company continues through proactive engagement in global
initiatives to drive a more sustainable future.
