Climate Goals & Targets
Medium-term Goals:
- Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by at least 42% by 2030 (compared to 2022 baseline).
- Reduce Scope 3 emissions by at least 25% by 2030 (compared to 2022 baseline).
Environmental Challenges
- Supply chain disruptions (implied due to global events and the need for resilient supply chains).
- Insufficient information about the specifications of all the PCBs purchased by Fineline for accurate Scope 3 emissions calculation.
- Lack of a global official portal for employee reporting, complaints, or feedback.
Mitigation Strategies
- Developed alternative sourcing strategies (implied by expanding supply chain to Southeast Asia).
- Used a combination of primary and secondary data for Scope 3 emissions calculation, employing a precautionary approach.
- Encouraged employees to share information through various people-centric approaches (quarterly meetings, dedicated personnel manager, weekly internal meetings).
Supply Chain Management
Supplier Audits: 13 audits in 2023 and 2024 YTD in Europe; 14 audits completed in 2023, 14 planned for 2024 in China. 15 on-site audits planned for Chinese suppliers in 2024.
Responsible Procurement
