公司在以地球为中心的实践中继续保持领导地位
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. ("Brilliant Earth" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: BRLT), an innovative, global leader in ethically sourced fine jewelry, today announced that the Science Based Targets initiative has verified the Company's long-term target to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its operations (Scopes 1 and 2) and its supply chain (Scope 3) by 2050. This validation reinforces the Company's commitment to reach net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 and addresses the urgent need to try to limit global temperature increases to less than 1.5oC, below catastrophic levels, in line with the Paris Agreement.
旧金山，2024年11月21日（环球新闻通讯社） -- Brilliant Earth Group, Inc.（"Brilliant Earth"或"公司"）（纳斯达克：BRLT），是一家在道德来源的精美珠宝领域创新的全球领导者，今天宣布，科学基础目标倡议已验证公司的长期目标，即到2050年实现其运营（范围1和2）以及其供应链（范围3）的净零温室气体排放。这一验证强化了公司到2050年实现净零温室气体排放的承诺，并应对了限制全球气温上升低于1.5摄氏度、低于灾难性水平的紧迫需求，这与《巴黎协定》一致。
"Many scientists believe that it is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, but that we are dangerously close to that threshold," said Brilliant Earth Co-Founder and CEO Beth Gerstein. "The greenhouse gas emissions targets are a major milestone in Brilliant Earth's journey to create a more ethical jewelry industry. We hope our transparency and goal setting encourages other stakeholders and industry players to align with climate science and commit to science-based net-zero targets. Together, we can be a force for positive change."
“许多科学家认为限制全球气温上升到1.5°C仍然是可能的，但我们离这个临界点已经非常接近，”Brilliant Earth的联合创始人兼首席执行官贝丝·格斯坦说。“温室气体排放目标是Brilliant Earth在创造更具道德的珠宝行业之路上一个重要的里程碑。我们希望我们的透明度和目标设定能鼓励其他利益相关者和行业参与者与气候科学保持一致，并承诺基于科学的净零目标。只有大家团结起来，我们才能成为积极变革的力量。”
To reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050, Brilliant Earth has set the following near and long-term targets:
为了在2050年前实现价值链的净零温室气体排放，Brilliant Earth设定了以下短期和长期目标：
- Overall Net-Zero Target: reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050
- Near-term1: reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 54.6% by 2033 from a 2023 base year and reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 32.5% within the same timeframe.
-
Long-term2: reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions 90% by 2050 from a 2023 base year and reduce absolute Scope 2 GHG emissions by 100% and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions 90% within the same timeframe.
- 整体净零目标：到2050年实现价值链的净零温室气体排放
- 短期目标：到2033年，减少相对于2023年基准年的绝对范围1和2的温室气体排放54.6%，并在相同时间框架内减少绝对范围3的温室气体排放32.5%。
- 长期目标：到2050年，减少相对于2023年基准年的绝对范围1的温室气体排放90%，并在相同时间框架内减少绝对范围2的温室气体排放100%和绝对范围3的温室气体排放90%。
For nearly two decades, Brilliant Earth has pioneered industry-leading practices, including developing traceability standards for diamonds such as Beyond Conflict Free. The validation of the Company's emissions reduction targets by SBTi affirms Brilliant Earth's long-standing commitment to going beyond industry standards, working within internal operations and with suppliers alike to create lasting change.
近二十年来，Brilliant Earth一直在推动行业领先的实践，包括为钻石开发可追溯性标准，例如超越冲突自由。该公司的减排目标经过SBTi的验证，证明了Brilliant Earth长期以来超越行业标准的承诺，与内部运营和供应商合作创造持久的变化。
"One of our top mission priorities is to contribute to collective climate-related solutions. We chose to align with SBTi because of the initiative's ability to provide clearly defined pathways to science-based net-zero targets for global companies and financial institutions," said Brilliant Earth Vice President of Responsible Sourcing and Sustainability Allison Charalambous. "With SBTi, understanding how quickly and how much decarbonization is necessary unlocks action so that organizations across industries can play their part in combatting the climate crisis."
“我们最重要的使命优先事项之一是为集体气候相关解决方案做出贡献。我们选择与SBTi对齐，因为该倡议能够为全球公司和金融机构提供明确定义的科学基础的净零目标路径，”Brilliant Earth负责采购和可持续发展的副总裁Allison Charalambous表示。“通过SBTi，了解需要多快以及需要多少脱碳措施可以激发行动，使各行业的组织能够在与气候危机作斗争中发挥作用。”
Brilliant Earth has already been working towards its targets, including calculating greenhouse gas emissions since 2018. Through the use of Renewable Energy Credits, the Company has used this data to reduce its Scope 2 market-based emissions for energy use to zero since 2022. Long term, the Company's Scope 2 target is to increase direct sourcing of renewable energy. This strategy is already underway with new showrooms using renewable energy opening in 2024 and beyond.
Brilliant Earth已经开始朝着其目标努力，包括自2018年以来计算温室气体排放。通过使用可再生能源信用，该公司利用这些数据将其自2022年以来的能源使用的范围2市场基础排放减少到零。从长远来看，该公司的范围2目标是增加可再生能源的直接采购。此策略已在进行中，新的展厅计划于2024年及以后使用可再生能源。
