Levi’s resets emissions targets to account for growth
Levi’s has set new emissions targets that reflect the growth in the business over recent years.
Its chief sustainability officer, Jeffrey Hogue, said the company achieved an 81% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions through 2024, against a 2016 baseline. But, due to significant changes and growth in the business it did not anticipate, it expects to fall just short of the 90% reduction in emissions target when it reports 2025 fiscal year data later this year.
The new targets for 2030 are set against a 2022 baseline and include reducing Scope1 emissions (direct emissions from sources it owns) by 42%; Scope 2 (indirect emissions from the generation of electricity, steam, heat or cooling) by 91% ; and maintain 100% renewable electricity in all company-operated facilities.
It is also working with suppliers to support emissions reductions in their operations.
Hogue said: “These targets reflect our commitment to energy efficiency, risk management and compliance, while accounting for business growth and evolving industry standards.”
