ViewSonic Corp. achieves a significant milestone as its targets to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. The company aims for a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, consistent with stringent criteria to limit global temperature increase, while also focusing on broader sustainability goals.
10 May 2024 – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, has announced that its ambitious targets to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 have been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This significant milestone underscores ViewSonic’s commitment to environmental sustainability and its proactive stance in combating climate change.
In line with its commitment, ViewSonic aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. The company has set a near-term target to reduce its carbon footprint, aiming for a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2021 baseline. Additionally, ViewSonic aims to decrease Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products by 42% within the same timeframe. These targets are aligned with the stringent criteria of SBTi, designed to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, consistent with the most ambitious aim of the Paris Agreement.
