An overview of the validated targets: Coveris S.A. commits to reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 54.6 per cent by 2033 compared to the base year of 2023. Furthermore, the company commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 32.5 per cent over the same period.
