Serres Sets Climate Targets for 2035 and a Net-Zero Ambition for 2045
Using 2025 as its baseline year, Serres has set measurable emissions-reduction targets as part of its sustainability roadmap.
As part of its sustainability roadmap, Serres has set greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for 2035 and a long-term net-zero ambition for 2045. Using 2025 as the baseline year, the company has set targets for reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions and Scope 3 emissions per unit of revenue, alongside a long-term ambition to reduce absolute emissions across its value chain.
Serres is committed to contributing to the goals of the Paris Agreement and limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The company has developed its climate targets using criteria and methodologies established by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The targets have not been submitted to or validated by the SBTi.
“Our climate targets are an important part of Serres’ sustainability roadmap. Establishing 2025 as our baseline year gives us a clear starting point for measuring progress, while our 2035 targets help translate our climate ambitions into concrete emissions reductions. By addressing both our own operations and our wider value chain, we aim to make climate action an integral part of how we develop our business,” says Katriina Kottelin, Director of QA/RA and Sustainability at Serres.
Achieving these ambitions will require continued development of Serres’ products and operations, as well as close cooperation with suppliers, logistics partners and customers to reduce emissions across the value chain.
“Sustainability is embedded in our strategy and operations and is an important part of how we create long-term value. Setting clear climate targets helps us connect our sustainability ambitions with business development, operational improvements and the expectations of our customers and other stakeholders. We see reducing our environmental impact as an important part of building a resilient and responsible business for the future,” says Nicke Svanvik, CEO of Serres.
2025–2035: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Serres has established the following near-term emissions reduction targets, using 2025 as the baseline year:
Scope 1 and 2: Reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 63% by 2035.
Scope 3: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of revenue by 66.33% by 2035.
Scope 1 covers direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by Serres, while Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy. Scope 3 includes other indirect emissions throughout the value chain, such as relevant emissions associated with purchased goods and services, transport and the use or disposal of products.
By addressing both operational emissions and those arising throughout its value chain, Serres aims to establish a structured approach to identifying reduction opportunities and monitoring progress over time.
The near-term targets have been developed with reference to the SBTi Corporate Near-Term Criteria, Version 5.3.1 (April 2026).
Towards 2045: Long-term emissions reduction and net zero
Looking beyond 2035, Serres has established a long-term ambition to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2045, compared with the 2025 baseline.
Serres aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2045. The approach prioritizes substantial emissions reductions, with any remaining residual emissions intended to be neutralized through permanent carbon dioxide removals.
The long-term ambition has been developed with reference to the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard, Version 1.3.1 (April 2026).
Transparent targets and measurable progress
Serres’ climate targets reflect the company’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact and integrating climate action into its sustainability roadmap.
While the targets have been developed using SBTi criteria, they have not been submitted to or validated by the SBTi. This distinction is important: the criteria provide a methodological reference for Serres’ target-setting, but the targets remain the company’s own commitments rather than externally validated targets.
With a defined baseline year, measurable reduction targets, and a long-term net-zero ambition, Serres aims to continue reducing greenhouse gas emissions and build a more sustainable business.
Serres’ 2025 Sustainability Report provides further information on the company’s greenhouse gas emissions and sustainability performance. Following publication of the report, Serres has further developed its Climate Transition Plan and updated the proposed long-term climate ambition.
