A range of energy efficiency measures are contributing to progress towards achieving 2030 emission reduction targets.

​​In accordance with its ESG strategy and in line with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) methodology, Lecta calculates its organizational carbon footprint (OCF) and its product carbon footprint (PCF) providing a comprehensive analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from its operations. On both targets, Lecta has reduced its emissions every year since 2021. This effort has in turn enabled it to commit to ambitious group-wide CO2 emission reduction targets.

Lecta has set a 45% decrease in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 35% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, compared to the 2021 baseline.

To solidify its commitment to decarbonization, Lecta has already submitted its reduction targets to SBTi for validation in September 2024. This strategic move underlines the company's commitment to transitioning to a resilient, net-zero economy based on scientific principles.

During 2023, Lecta implemented numerous critical initiatives and investments, many of which focused on energy efficiency. These have contributed to making significant progress towards our emissions reduction targets.

Major investment​ in a refuse-derived fuel (RDF) boiler for the Condat mill in France is a recent example of Lecta's projects to reduce gas-related CO2 emissions and encourage the use of more sustainable energy alternatives.
