In 2018, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that to avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown, global temperature increase must be capped at 1.5°C.
Answering to the urgency, AHMM signed up to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Business Ambition for 1.5°C. This commitment involves setting near-term and long-term Net Zero targets to be consistent with the agreed level of decarbonisation required to keep global temperatures below 1.5°C.
This report oulines what this level of commitment means for AHMM and sets out an action plan to begin the transition towards Net Zero, including:
- Providing an overview of AHMM's 2022 carbon footprint
- Outlining AHMM's pathway to achieving net zero under SBTi
- Setting out actionable, data-driven recommendations across business units to reduce AHMM's emissions
- Offering guidance for purchasing carbon removals
- Putting forward an indicative governance plan to ensure AHMM has the right accountability, engagement and reporting to drive progress against SBTi commitments
- Signposting to relevant guidance and tools to support with the implementation of the Net Zero Action Plan.
