Sanoma awarded CDP Climate A List status for climate leadership
Sanoma has been awarded a place on the CDP Climate A List, the global gold standard for corporate climate transparency and action. This recognition by CDP, the leading environmental disclosure non-profit, honors companies that take significant action to cut emissions and manage climate risks. Only a small percentage of more than 20,000 organisations reporting to CDP achieved A List status, reflecting their exceptional governance and leadership in low-carbon transition.
“We are extremely proud to be awarded the CDP Climate A List status. This milestone underscores our commitment to transitioning towards a low-carbon economy. Our teams across Sanoma have worked tirelessly to reduce our carbon footprint, and I am proud of the progress we have made together. We will continue to accelerate our climate strategy and drive collaboration across our value chain to reach our goals,” says Kaisa Uurasmaa, Head of Investor Relations and Sustainability of Sanoma.
Sanoma’s place on the A List reflects strong climate governance and significant emission reductions. Sanoma’s climate goals are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as aligned with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement. By the end of 2024, Sanoma had achieved a 44% reduction in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) emissions and a 38% reduction in Scope 3 value chain emissions compared to 2021, marking significant progress towards its SBTi-aligned 2030 targets. Sanoma’s actions focus on embedding climate transition planning into business processes and engaging with its suppliers to advance a low-carbon pathway. The climate targets are also linked to Sanoma’s funding and executive remuneration.
