Achieve the following by 2030:
• Reduce absolute GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 32 percent
• Reduce GHG emissions intensity (Scope 1 and 2) by 32 percent
• Reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions (i.e., joint venture assets and supply chain) by 30 percent

"Leicester City Council already has targets in place for reducing both the carbon emissions of the council and of the whole city, and actively monitors progress towards these. These targets were very ambitious when they were set in 1994 and still go beyond those currently required by the UK Government. Leicester City Council is targeting a 50% reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions from its own estate and operations by 2025, compared to a 2008/09 baseline. [...] We also have a target of reducing CO2e emissions for the city of Leicester by 50% by 2025, from a 1990 baseline."
Targets from Sustainability Action Plan 2016-19, which was the precursor to Climate Emergency Strategy 2020-23.

There is indication on the website summary that this interim target has already been achieved as of Sep 2021: " City-wide carbon emissions have already halved from their 1990 levels  and the council’s own emissions have decreased by a similar amount in the past decade."

THE U.S. 2050 NET-ZERO GOAL
The United States has set a goal of net-zero
emissions by no later than 2050.
The goal includes all major GHGs (CO2
, CH4
, N2
O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6
, NF3
) and is economy-wide. The goal is on a net
basis, including both sources of emissions and removals. It does not include emissions from international aviation
or international shipping. At this time, the United States does not expect to use international market mechanisms
toward achievement of this net-zero goal. Progress toward the goal will be assessed and the U.S. LTS may be updated,
as appropriate.

CIB's ecological footprint plan was developed in 2017 to address energy and water efficiency challenges. We ultimately aim to make our business carbon neutral.

CIB developed its first Carbon Footprint Report because measuring a problem is the essential first step in developing a plan to address it. In 2018, CIB’s total emissions hit 51,000 MtCO2e (after updating the baseline according to the new activities added in 2019-2020 report), and we have committed ourselves to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 10% (1,800 MtCO2e) by 2025.

Our 2030 goals include achieving net positive water, 100% renewable electricity, zero waste to landfill, and further reduction in our absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, even as we continue to expand our manufacturing capacity. Additionally, building on our 2030 goals, we recently announced our commitment to achieve net zero GHG for Scope 1 and 2, by 2040. Our strategy also includes creating a collective approach to reduce GHG emissions across the semiconductor industry, and increasing the use of technology to reduce climate impact. To achieve our 2030 sustainable chemistry technology industry initiative, we have developed a unique methodology to calculate our manufacturing chemical footprint, which will be instrumental in helping
us identify projects to soften that footprint.

• Achieve 100% renewable electricity use across our global manufacturing operations.
• Conserve 4 billion kWh of electricity.
• Drive a 10% reduction in our absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions as we grow,
informed by climate science.
• Increase product energy efficiency 10x for Intel client and server microprocessors to
reduce our Scope 3 emissions."

(Pg. 69) 2030 Goal: Scope 1 and 2 GHG Emissions
Description. Drive a 10% reduction in our absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from 2020 to 2030.
Baseline. Progress measured as percent reduction from our calendar year 2019 emissions. Our combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions in 2019 were 2.88 million metric tons of CO2e.
Progress in 2021. During 2021, our Scope 1 and 2 emissions increased by approximately 14% from the 2019 baseline.
Looking Ahead. In 2022, we will continue to take action to reduce emissions through abatement, investments in renewable electricity, process and equipment optimization, and energy conservation.
In addition to this 2030 goal, in April 2022 we announced a new commitment to reach net zero Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2040. Next year we will begin reporting progress toward both the 2030 and 2040 commitments.

In support of limiting global warming by minimizing generation of greenhouse gases
(GHGs) in our operations as we continue to expand our business, we have a set a new
carbon emissions target of 25% CO2 reduction per employee over ten years from 2016
to 2025 with our baseline year of CY2015.
Energy-efficient building design, conservation initiatives, and energy reduction projects
have helped us achieve our carbon reduction goal along with sourcing global electricity
use from renewable energy with continued company growth. In late 2016, we began
rapidly increasing our use of renewable energy, and by the end of 2020, renewable
energy sources have supplied 45% of our total energy needs at headquarters in San
Jose, California.
Target type: reduction
Given the urgency, we fast-tracked our net zero goal by 10 years and established a new goal of 2040. In 2020, we also expanded our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goal to cover scopes 1, 2 and 3. We plan to achieve net-zero emissions through projects that improve operational efficiency, create new technology innovations, and neutralize residual GHG emissions through carbon compensation mechanisms.

The Government is committed to reforming the climate policies of the European Union and Finland so that we can do our part to limit the global mean temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Finland aims to develop the EU’s long-term climate measures so that the EU can achieve carbon neutrality before 2050. This means tightening the emissions reduction obligation for 2030 to at least 55 per cent below the 1990 emissions level. 

The target set in the Government Programme is for transport sector emissions to be halved from 2005 levels by 2030. Transport sector emissions are declining too slowly in relation to the target: the existing measures are expected to reduce emissions to 7.9 million tonnes, but emissions should decrease to 6.3 million tonnes. In May 2021, the Government adopted a resolution on a roadmap for fossil-free transport to achieve this target.

'We have made significant progress towards our 2030 carbon intensity reduction goals of 40% from a 2008 baseline, measured in both grams of CO2 e per ALB-km and kilograms of CO2 e per ALBD. To further support our commitment to decarbonization, prior to the release of this sustainability report, we decided to update our greenhouse gas emissions baseline year to 2019 from 2008. This new baseline year will help us better communicate recent progress against our climate goals to our investors and stakeholders as well as modernize our disclosures in alignment with developing best practice and reporting standards. Both 2030 goals now require a 20% improvement from 2019. With the updated baseline year, we strengthened our goal measured in kilograms of CO2 e per ALBD since the initial 2030 goal would only have required a further 15% reduction from 2019 levels. Our goal measured in grams of CO2 e per ALB-km remains the same.' (p70)

Thuringia’s 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals are inscribed in the ThürKlimaG, the Thuringian 2018 Law on Climate Protection and Adaptation to the Effects of Climate Change. This law is to be reviewed every 5 years based on indicators such as an evaluation of the state government’s leadership, the number of municipalities with an energy and climate plan, and on the feasibility of objectives. To reduce its reliance on extra-EU imports of vehicles’ batteries, Thuringia recently signed an agreement with the Chinese company CATL (the
world’s largest producer of battery cells for e-cars) for the construction of a new battery cell gigafactory for European-made batteries.

• measuring and determining a baseline for our total GHG emissions by 2022 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions and relevant Scope 3 emission categories.
• defining the boundary of our net zero target and setting interim targets to show our progress towards achieving net zero.
• engaging with our landlords and property managers to advocate for environmentally friendly practices in our offices and other facilities.
• working with data center providers to collect and analyze data on the energy, emissions, and water footprints.
