Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energies is part of our decarbonization strategy to achieve Net Zero Scope 1 & 2 within our operations by 2040. Our decarbonisation strategy sees us investing in renewable energy initiatives, exploring alternative fuel sources in addition to existing pipeline projects and joining collaborative efforts to align with market and technology innovations.
We are focused on the long-term decarbonization efforts of our internal operations and the milestone of reducing output to 10% residual emissions. For those limited residual emissions, we will explore credible and quality alternatives.
At Ansell, we protect people and the planet. Our Net Zero ambition for Scope 1 & 2 is aligned with three of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely the 7th SDG "Affordable and Clean Energy", the 12th SDG “Responsible Consumption and Production” and the 13th SDG "Climate Action".
Ansell will roll out investments and programs as part of our Net Zero ambition, including fully commissioning current pipeline projects, sourcing 100% renewable electricity across our operations by 2040 and implementing energy management systems (ISO50001) in all our plants in the next five years.
*Renewable Thermal Collaborative: One the largest coalitions for executing solutions, including knowledge sharing and advocating policy, to decarbonize thermal energy generation.
*RE100: Led by the Climate Group, in partnership with CDP, its mission is to accelerate change towards zero carbon electricity grids globally by 2040. Ansell commits to sourcing 100% renewable electricity across our entire operations by 2040, with an interim target of 60% by 2030.
*EP100: Led by the Climate Group, it aims to accelerate energy efficiency through energy smart businesses. Ansell will implement Energy Management Systems (ISO50001) at all plants over the next 5 years, which includes driving plant-wide awareness and senior management accountability on efficient practices for carbon reduction.
