Oriola’s ambitious science-based climate targets approved by the SBTi
20.8.2025
This approval makes Oriola one of the companies globally recognised by the SBTi as having an approved science-based net-zero target under the SBTi Net-Zero Standard.
“Our role in the health sector comes with a responsibility to act on climate. This validation confirms that our climate targets meet the highest scientific standards, and we now focus on implementation in cooperation with our partners in the value chain. SBTi approval gives us a solid ground to drive this work forward,” says Katarina Gabrielson, CEO of Oriola.
Concrete targets for near and long term
The approved targets include both near-term and net-zero commitments covering Oriola’s operations and value chain:
Overall net-zero target:
-
Oriola commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.
Near-term targets:
-
Oriola commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 67% by 2030 from a 2023 base year.
-
Oriola also commits that 69% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by 2028.
Long-term target:
-
Oriola commits to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions 90% by 2050 from a 2023 base year.
Oriola’s emissions data show that the vast majority of emissions, more than 98%, occur in the value chain, particularly from purchased goods and services. This underlines the importance of collaboration across the supply network.
“We have already taken important steps to cut emissions in our own operations, and this work will continue. Our next focus is on our value chain, encouraging our suppliers of purchased goods and services, where the largest share of our emissions occurs, to set science-based targets.” says Tua Stenius-Örnhjelm, Investor Relations and Sustainability Manager at Oriola.
Strengthening partnerships and climate accountability
Having targets approved by the SBTi strengthens Oriola’s position in ongoing sustainability dialogues with customers, partners and public authorities. It also supports transparency in climate reporting and regulatory compliance.
