April 2, 2024- Teleflex Incorporated announced its near- and long-term climate change targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Teleflex has committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. The announcement comes ahead of the company’s release of its 2023 Global Impact Report, which will be published in May 2024.
Teleflex has responded to the SBTi’s urgent call for corporate climate action by committing to align with 1.5°C and net-zero through the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign. The company plans to address these goals through the establishment and validation of the near-and long-term science-based emissions targets.
The SBTi provides a framework to help companies reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are in line with what the climate science indicates is needed to keep global warming below 1.5°C from pre-industrial temperatures.
