AAM 在排放目标方面获得了顶级行业验证

底特律，2022 年 11 月 30 日 --American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM)（纽约证券交易所代码：AXLE）继续提升可持续发展领先地位，通过气候行动组织科学减碳倡议验证其净零排放目标。SBTi 是一项全球倡议，通过推动在各个行业建立雄心勃勃的科学减排目标，引领零碳经济的发展道路。AAM 承诺从 2020 年开始到 2040 年实现整个价值链的温室气体净零排放。因此，AAM 是首批通过 SBTi 验证其净零目标的汽车一级供应商之一。

“AAM 专注于推动对我们公司、我们的利益相关者以及我们工作和生活的社区最重要的可持续发展领域的持续改进，”AAM 总裁 Michael K. Simonte 表示。“获得 SBT 对我们的排放目标的验证 - 目前通过 SBTi 流程获得的最雄心勃勃的认定 - 确保 AAM 走在实现净零排放的正确道路上。” 

SBTi 可确保公司采取近期和长期行动，以便按照将全球变暖保持在 1.5°C 以下的速度减少排放.

AAM 已承诺实现三个具体的近期目标，这些目标已通过 SBTi 的验证：

  • 到 2030 年，将范围 1 和 2 温室气体 (GHG) 的绝对排放量从 2020 年基线减少 45%；
  • 在同一时间内，将采购商品和服务、资本货物、燃料和能源相关活动、上游运输和配送、运营、商务旅行、员工通勤、下游运输和配送、已售产品和投资的报废处理产生的绝对范围 3 温室气体排放量减少 25%；
  • 要求到 2027 年，按采购商品和服务的排放量计算，其 66.7% 的供应商将制定以科学为依据的目标。

该公司还承诺实现两个长期目标，也经过 SBTi 验证：

  • 到 2040 年，范围 1 和范围 2 GHG 排放量比 2020 年减少 90%。
  • 在同一时间范围内将范围 3 GHG 排放量减少 90%。

 

科学减碳倡议

科学减碳倡议可帮助各行各业的公司制定科学减碳目标，并在向低碳经济转型的过程中提高竞争优势。SBTi 向公司和金融机构展示了他们需要以什么速度减少多少温室气体排放，以防止气候变化带来的最坏影响。结合 GHG 排放的年度披露和实现这些目标的进度，SBTi 可帮助公司在实现净零的过程中确保最大的透明度和问责制。SBTi 由 CDP、联合国全球契约、世界资源研究所和世界自然基金会联合执行。

“恭喜您实现科学减碳目标，”SBTi 验证报告指出。“政府间气候变化专门委员会关于 1.5°C 的特别报告强调了到本世纪中叶实现净零排放的必要性。(AAM) SBT 是启动此净零脱碳轨迹，同时最大限度地提高透明度和问责制的关键要素。

SBTi 报告指出，虽然到本世纪末仍有可能将全球气温上升幅度限制在 1.5°C，但我们的气候距离该阈值只有毫发之差，非常危险。因此，在 2030 年之前将全球排放量减半，到 2050 年实现净零排放非常重要。AAM 鼓励其所有利益相关者也跟随它的步伐，致力于实现 1.5°C 科学减碳目标和净零目标。
