Today marks one year since the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) officially validated our dual decarbonisation roadmap. On this World Environment Day, we are blowing out the candle and sharing our first assessment.
Early measurable results
In 2025, the effects of our SBTi trajectory are already visible:
- 5.2% reduction in total emissions compared to 2024, against a backdrop of sustained business growth
- 2.18 tCO₂e per employee, a controlled carbon intensity
- 83% renewable electricity across our operations
- 59% drop in procurement-related emissions, driven by a responsible purchasing policy
These figures are not an end in themselves. They reflect, above all, our ability to drive real transformation while continuing to grow, which is precisely the challenge at hand.
Where the transition truly happens
At Scalian, nearly 91% of our emissions fall under scope 3, with two dominant categories: business travel (55%) and procurement (19%). The transition therefore goes well beyond our infrastructure or direct energy consumption. It depends on business practices, everyday choices and collective decisions.
Our priority is clear: reduce the most carbon-intensive forms of mobility and bring our entire ecosystem along in the transition.
A commitment recognised by three independent frameworks
Our engagement is independently validated by three international reference frameworks:
- SBTi – Near-term targets : 54.6% reduction on scopes 1 and 2 by 2033, 61.1% reduction on scope 3 in intensity (tCO₂e/FTE), and Net-Zero (carbon neutrality by 2050) officially validated, aligned with a 1.5°C pathway
- CDP Climate Change Score B: Recognition of our rigorous management of climate-related risks
- CDP SEA (Supplier Engagement Assessment) Leader, Score A: Recognition of our commitment to bringing our supply chain into the transition
Commitment turning into action
In one year, our SBTi trajectory has translated into results, structural decisions and collective momentum. The transition is well underway and we are pressing forward with ambition. We invite our clients, partners and suppliers to align in turn with climate science.
About the SBTi
The Science Based Targets initiative is a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It defines best practices for science-based target setting and independently assesses corporate climate targets against the latest scientific data.
