Media Release

DKSH has achieved another milestone in its sustainability efforts, as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has officially validated its near-term and net zero targets. This approval reflects DKSH's commitment to its climate ambitions and reinforces its goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Zurich, Switzerland, January 13, 2025 - DKSH's near-term and net-zero emissions targets have been approved by SBTi. This approval confirms that DKSH's near-term climate ambitions are in line with the latest climate science. Furthermore, the SBTi has validated DKSH's long-term emissions reduction target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

DKSH's near-term target includes reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 71.2% by 2030, compared to its 2020 baseline. In addition, the company has also committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services by 61.1% per CHF of value added by 2033, using 2024 as the base year. Looking further ahead, DKSH aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050. DKSH continues to pursue these climate ambitions through a range of measures, including optimizing transport routes and truck loads, expanding the use of electricity from renewable sources, and increasing the share of electric and hybrid vehicles in its fleets. Furthermore, DKSH invests in carbon removal projects to further strengthen its efforts.

Stefan P. Butz, CEO of DKSH, said: "Reaching this milestone of having our net-zero emissions targets approved by the SBTi reinforces that sustainability is an integral part of DKSH's business and reflects the continued efforts we have made to build climate transparency over the past few years. This recognition strengthens DKSH's climate ambition while creating long-term value for our operations, our partners and the communities we serve."

DKSH has already achieved a 55% reduction in its Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions compared to its 2020 baseline. In addition to these accomplishments toward its climate ambitions, DKSH has steadily advanced its reporting practices since disclosing greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1 and 2 for the first time in 2017. DKSH has started reporting Scope 3 emissions and disclosing its carbon data to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), where the company has consistently achieved a "B" rating since 2021.
