Ascend Elements Commits to Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard for GHG Emissions Reductions
Massachusetts-based battery materials company commits to setting robust emissions reduction targets at the pace and scale required by climate science and in accordance with the Paris Agreement goals
總部位於馬薩諸塞州的電池材料公司承諾按照氣候科學要求的速度和規模以及《巴黎協定》的目標設定強有力的減排目標
WESTBOROUGH, Mass., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) has recognized Ascend Elements' commitment to set near-term and net-zero company-wide emissions reductions in line with climate science. This is the first step in the company's decarbonization journey with SBTi.
馬薩諸塞州韋斯特伯勒，2024年7月23日 /PRNewswire/--基於科學的目標倡議（SBTi）認可了Ascend Elements致力於根據氣候科學設定短期和全公司淨零排放量的承諾。這是該公司與SBTI合作的脫碳之旅的第一步。
Science-based targets show companies and financial institutions how much and how quickly they need to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Ascend Elements is currently developing science-based targets for review and validation by SBTi's technical experts.
基於科學的目標表明，公司和金融機構需要在多大程度上和多快地減少溫室氣體（GHG）排放，以防止氣候變化的最壞影響。Ascend Elements目前正在開發基於科學的靶標，供SBTI的技術專家審查和驗證。
"We're working to make EV battery materials more sustainable, which helps EV OEMs accelerate their net zero goals," said CEO Mike O'Kronley of Ascend Elements. "At the same time, we're taking aggressive steps to achieve net zero in our own operations. Part of that involves setting science-based net zero targets that exceed the minimum requirements. The latest climate science sends a clear warning that we must dramatically curb temperature rise now to avoid catastrophic impacts for our children and grandchildren."
Ascend Elements首席執行官邁克·奧克朗利表示：“我們正在努力提高電動汽車電池材料的可持續性，這有助於電動汽車原始設備製造商加快實現其淨零排放目標。”“同時，我們正在採取積極措施，在自己的運營中實現淨零排放。其中一部分涉及設定超過最低要求的基於科學的淨零目標。最新的氣候科學發出了明確的警告，即我們現在必須大幅遏制溫度升高，以避免對我們的子孫後代造成災難性影響。”
By committing to set a science-based net-zero target aligned with SBTi requirements, Ascend Elements also becomes part of the United Nations' Race to Zero campaign.
通過承諾設定符合SBTi要求的基於科學的淨零目標，Ascend Elements也成爲聯合國 “零競賽” 活動的一部分。
SBTi is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis. The organization develops standards, tools and guidance which allows companies to set GHG emissions reductions targets in line with the Paris Agreement to keep global heating below catastrophic levels and reach net zero by 2050 at the latest. SBTi is incorporated as a charity with partners including CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, the We Mean Business Coalition, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the WWF.
SBTi是一家企業氣候行動組織，它使全球的公司和金融機構能夠在應對氣候危機中發揮自己的作用。該組織制定標準、工具和指南，使公司能夠根據《巴黎協定》設定溫室氣體減排目標，將全球供暖控制在災難性水平以下，最遲到2050年達到淨零排放。SBTi作爲慈善機構註冊成立，其合作伙伴包括CDP、聯合國全球契約、We Mean Business 聯盟、世界資源研究所（WRI）和世界自然基金會。
