Springer Nature is joining the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign, responding to an urgent call-to-action for companies to set emissions reduction targets that can collectively limit global temperature increases to 1.5°C.
By joining the campaign, which is backed by a global network of UN agencies, business and industry leaders, Springer Nature has committed to set verifiable science-based targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which independently assesses corporate emissions reduction targets in line with what climate science says is needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement which aims to avoid the worst potential impacts of climate change.
As well as its publishing portfolio, Springer Nature has introduced industry-leading sustainable business practices, becoming carbon neutral across the company’s direct business operations in 2020. This announcement coincides with Climate Action Day: a movement of global organisations amplifying the action they are taking to listen to the climate science ahead of COP26.
