Science-based climate targets
Consistently avoiding or reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions) is a top priority of the global sustainability strategy at Festo. We have set ambitious, science-based climate targets to limit global warming to 1.5 °C compared to pre-industrial levels. These targets were officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in February 2025. The SBTi is an independent initiative that evaluates the reduction targets based on the findings of climate science.
In line with the overarching "net zero" target, we are committed to absorbing as many greenhouse gases along the value chain (Scopes 1-3) by 2050 as we release.
