Growing a sustainable future

We know that climate change impacts all of us, whether through changing weather patterns and extreme events or by affecting access to resources such as water. This is why, at ABF Sugar, we have always sought solutions and opportunities to play a role in protecting our communities and our business's future.

ABF Sugar’s near-term decarbonisation targets for 2030 and net-zero targets for 2050 have now been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The SBTi is a global body that provides a robust framework for setting emissions reduction targets in line with the latest climate science. It focuses on accelerating companies’ efforts worldwide to halve emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions before 2050.

Direct emissions reductions (decarbonization) will be prioritised and all residual emissions will be neutralized in line with SBTi criteria before reaching net-zero emissions.
