We are proud to have our targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), ensuring they align with the latest climate science.
Our commitment:
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, and to measure and reduce its scope 3 emissions.

We are taking bold steps to deliver on this commitment. Here’s where we stand:
- Base Year (2019): 77.3tCO2e
- 2024: 10.7tCO2e
- Reduction Achieved So Far: 65.6%
Why science-based targets?
