MAXIMA GRUPĖ receives SBTi validation for its greenhouse gas
emissions reduction target
MAXIMA GRUPĖ, which operates retail
chains and e-commerce in the Baltic States, Poland, and Bulgaria,
has its near-term science-based emissions reduction targets
validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) at the end
of December 2023, after committing to set such targets earlier in
March the same year. The Scope 1 and 2 targets ambition have been
classified as in line with 1.5oC trajectory.
As of 8 February 2024, MAXIMA GRUPĖ has been
officially included on the SBTi list of companies, who have their
greenhouse gas reduction targets validated, after the official
approval dated 20 December 2023. The approval of targets by the
global body that is enabling companies to set ambitious goals in
the climate change mitigation area in line with the most recent
science signifies that through the rigorous validation process our
company’s submitted targets comply with the set criteria and are
in-line with the ambition levels, that are deemed necessary to
achieve the Paris Agreement. The SBTi has classified our Scope 1
and 2 target ambition as in line with a 1.5oC trajectory,
signifying an important milestone for a responsible business.
“The validation process is of great importance
to ensure the credibility of our climate action, while the
commitment itself sets a tone for accountability through regular
monitoring, verification, and reporting frameworks. We have a clear
destination of climate impact reduction till 2030 and the path that
we have embarked on shall contribute to our resilience to
transitional risks” – says Kiril Sanko, Head of Sustainability at
MAXIMA GRUPĖ.
What targets have we committed
to?
MAXIMA GRUPĖ committed to reduce absolute scope
1 and 2 GHG emissions 42.0% by 2030 from a 2021 base year. We also
committed that 78.3% of our suppliers by emissions covering
purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by
2027.
For us sustainability is part of our business,
and in business we always set targets that we consistently
implement towards achieving purposeful transformation. We believe
that targets without actions are deemed to become unattainable
dreams, thus we are actively implementing solutions that assist us
in our journey. We have agreed upon actions that we shall take in
the short term to tackle our Scope 1 and 2 emissions through energy
efficiency and smart energy management, transitioning to more
climate-friendly refrigerants and deployment of renewable energy
generation. After the first period of action is completed, we shall
move to further implementation steps.
When it comes to our Scope 3 emissions, we have
already established and allocated product-related emissions to
every supplier who we work with. We see that a lot of major
suppliers are the subjects of the Corporate Sustainability
Reporting Directive and the forthcoming Corporate Sustainability
Due Diligence Directive, thus the regulatory environment shall be
pushing them towards setting greenhouse gas emissions reduction
goals along with our efforts.
About the Science Based Targets
initiative
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a
global body enabling businesses to set ambitious emissions
reductions targets in line with the latest climate science. It is
focused on accelerating companies across the world to halve
emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions before
2050.
The initiative is a collaboration between CDP,
the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI)
and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and one of the We Mean
Business Coalition commitments. The SBTi defines and promotes best
practice in science-based target setting, offers resources and
guidance to reduce barriers to adoption, and independently assesses
and approves companies’ targets.
According to the SBTi guidelines, greenhouse
gases are assessed and reduced in three areas. Scope 1 greenhouse
gas emissions arising from and associated with the direct
activities of the enterprise, Scope 2 GHG emissions result from the
production of electricity or heating consumed by the Group, and
Scope 3 GHG emissions come from the value chain and are emitted
while cultivating, producing, and transporting the goods.

More details on our climate action plans and
ambitions, including the performance and due processes shall become
available with our corporate social responsibility report later
this spring, and shall be updated on annual basis.
