Kemin Industries has signed a commitment to the Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi) to affirm emissions reduction goals.

Science-based targets provide a clearly defined pathway for companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping prevent the worst impacts of climate change and future-proof business growth.

Emissions reductions within Kemin's operations and along its value chain will accelerate the company's efforts to reduce the effects of climate change. In 2021, Kemin announced its goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 as part of its sustainability strategy. Kemin's commitment to SBTi provides a pathway to meet validated targets in line with the latest climate science and in accordance with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

“Our commitment to SBTi means we will use well-recognized methods backed by science to evaluate our emissions,” said Kim Gibson, associate director of global sustainability, Kemin Industries. “Setting our pace for progress in the near term is an important part of Kemin's sustainability journey.”
