Meridian’s Sustainability division announced today that group-wide Scope 1 and 2 emissions have been reduced by 45% against the 2020 baseline — a target originally set for 2028, now reached two years early.
The reduction was driven primarily by the Industrial division’s transition to renewable-powered manufacturing at twelve of its fourteen facilities, engineered in partnership with the Sustainability division’s own infrastructure teams.
“The two-years-early number is nice, but the more interesting one is that we did it while Industrial’s output grew,” said a spokesperson for the group ESG office. “That’s the actual test of whether decarbonization and production growth can coexist.”
Meridian’s updated sustainability targets through 2035 will be published in full in the group’s next annual sustainability report.
