The net zero targets that have been certified are the same as those underpinning our Mannheim Model. They are merely defined by reference to more technical aspects and based on the SBTi’s strict logic.
The certification refers to net zero, i.e. climate neutrality, by the target year 2040. The “climate positive” statement currently cannot be certified by the SBTi, as this is not possible based on its existing assessment criteria.
The SBTi stipulates highly precise targets for participating companies, which are in turn subdivided into various subtopics. Here is an overview of the targets and their allocation to our own climate protection targets. Public MVV target based on SBTi standards Refers to Associated MVV target Multinational German energy company MVV Energie AG commits to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 83% per kWh by 2030 from a 2018 base year.* Scope 1 “Reduction of more than 80% by 2030 compared with 2018” MVV Energie AG commits to reduce scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from all sold electricity by 83% per kWh by 2030 from a 2018 base year.* Electricity generation and sales Scopes 1 and 3 “Reduction of more than 80% by 2035 compared with 2018” MVV Energie AG commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2040 from a 2018 base year.* Scopes 1, 2, 3 “Climate neutral at the latest by 2040” MVV Energie AG commits to reduce scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 99.8% per kWh by 2040 from a 2018 base year.* Scopes 1, 2 MVV Energie AG commits to reduce scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from all sold electricity by 99% per kWh by 2040 from a 2018 base year.* Electricity generation and sales Scopes 1 and 3 MVV Energie AG commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from use of sold products by 99% by 2040 from a 2018 base year. Subset Scope 3, especially gas sales MVV Energie AG commits to reduce all other absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 95% by 2040 from a 2018 base year. Subset Scope 3 *The target boundary includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks Inclusion of biogenic emissions You can find the SBTi certification here
