Driven by a commitment to credible climate action, Ørsted is the first energy company in the world with an approved science-based net-zero target. Since 2006, it has reduced emissions intensity in its operations and energy production (scope 1 and 2) by more than 87 %. The company has now moved into its next frontier of decarbonisation – the supply chain – in line with its 2040 net-zero target. Ørsted is recognised by CDP, who run the global disclosure system for managing environmental impacts, as a global leader on climate change and is ranked as the world’s most sustainable energy company in the Corporate Knights Global 100 index.
Ida Krabek, director and head of global sustainability at Ørsted, added: “We are very pleased to be recognised through the CTP accreditation framework as a company at the forefront of climate action. Delivering a 1.5 °C world requires business model transition and decarbonisation across the economy, which helps reduce climate risks in the process. We encourage all companies to place emission reductions – in line with science – at the heart of their climate strategies.”
