Linear UK Group has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), marking an important step in our approach to managing and reducing carbon emissions across our business and value chain.
Why we’ve committed
SBTi provides a clear and credible framework for setting emissions-reduction targets that align with the latest climate science. By committing, we are strengthening accountability and transparency for our customers, partners, and colleagues, and focusing our efforts on the actions that deliver the greatest impact.
We recognise we can influence some of the most carbon-intensive parts of the built environment through the projects we deliver, the materials we specify and the partners we work with. Our SBTi commitment supports closer collaboration to reduce whole-life carbon and respond to evolving expectations and standards across the industry.
“The commitment to the SBTi demonstrates our dedication to aligning our decarbonisation strategy with climate science and best practice when it comes to climate action. This commitment is the first step towards setting science-based targets to help provide an ambitious and actionable plan to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and drive sustainable growth and innovation in line with regulations and government targets.” - Alina Wolf, Sustainability Advisor
Over time, wider adoption of science-based targets across construction will help create consistent expectations around carbon data, supporting a more measurable transition to a lower-carbon built environment.
Next steps
Our next step is to develop science-based targets and a delivery plan that covers our operations and wider value chain, underpinned by robust measurement and reporting. We will share updates as our work progresses.
“Committing to SBTi is an important step in demonstrating how we plan for the future and deliver responsibly for our customers. We’re focused on turning this commitment into practical action working with our teams, clients and supply chain to reduce whole-life carbon and support a lower-carbon built environment.” Ryan Broadley, ESG Executive Lead
