Trivium Packaging announced today that the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved the company’s net‑zero target, confirming Trivium’s long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals are consistent with a 1.5°C pathway and the global objective to reach net‑zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.  

“SBTi approval gives our teams and partners confidence in our commitment to decarbonisation,” said Michael Mapes, Chief Executive Officer, Trivium Packaging. “We’ll continue to focus on sustainable sourcing, increasing our use of renewable electricity, prioritizing ecodesign, and minimizing our energy consumption while enhancing efficiency. We’ll also be transparent about our progress every year.” 

What was approved (Net-Zero Target)
  • Trivium Packaging B.V. commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.
Long‑term target (by 2050 from a 2020 base year)
  • To reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90.0% by 2050 from a 2020 base year.

How Trivium will deliver (examples of decarbonisation levers)

To achieve our net-zero target, our execution remains focused on key levers: sustainable sourcing, increasing renewable electricity, prioritizing ecodesign, minimizing energy consumption, and enhancing efficiency. 

Progress until December 2024 vs. 2020

We reduced Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 31% since 2020. For Scope 3, we have reduced our emissions by 19% since 2020. We also retained EcoVadis Platinum and CDP A List recognition, further strengthening the foundation for our SBTi-approved pathway.
