Reckitt's Climate Change Impact: E
Becoming carbon-free is one of many ways to become an eco company.
If Reckitt was to become a carbon-negative company will not only cover its outgoing carbon dioxide production, but remove more than its total output.
It is estimated that globally we are required to invest around USD 60 trillion to decarbonise. If every company, including Reckitt was able to fund (in part) something towards climate change as we must reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide.
Reckitt has pledged to use 100% green renewable energy by 2030. In line with the Paris Agreement, globally we need to cut the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions.
Reckitt has pledged to be a carbon neutral company by 2040. Publically stating you are a carbon neutral company, which is a great step towards a positive climate action approach, is what every company should strive for way beyond the Paris Agreement's 2050 deadline.
What do we know about Reckitt's stance on tackling climate change?
Based on the information publicly announced, we already know that Reckitt is at the very least climate positive. This at a minimum is a good first step. However, it means next to nothing if Reckitt do not put any climate action forward, in the way of goals and deadlines.
Is Reckitt a sponsor of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26)?
Yes, Reckitt is an official Principal Partner of COP26 held in Glasgow, Scotland on 31st October – 12th November 2021. Reckitt is one of eleven companies that have been chosen for their key role in climate action, helping to reach net zero emission targets.
