公司在以地球爲中心的實踐中繼續保持領導地位
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.
舊金山，2024年11月21日（環球新聞通訊社） -- Brilliant Earth Group, Inc.（"Brilliant Earth"或"公司"）（納斯達克：BRLT），是一家在道德來源的精美珠寶領域創新的全球領導者，今天宣佈，科學基礎目標倡議已驗證公司的長期目標，即到2050年實現其運營（範圍1和2）以及其供應鏈（範圍3）的淨零溫室氣體排放。這一驗證強化了公司到2050年實現淨零溫室氣體排放的承諾，並應對了限制全球氣溫上升低於1.5攝氏度、低於災難性水平的緊迫需求，這與《巴黎協定》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."
「許多科學家認爲限制全球氣溫上升到1.5°C仍然是可能的，但我們離這個臨界點已經非常接近，」Brilliant Earth的聯合創始人兼首席執行官貝絲·格斯坦說。「溫室氣體排放目標是Brilliant Earth在創造更具道德的珠寶行業之路上一個重要的里程碑。我們希望我們的透明度和目標設定能鼓勵其他利益相關者和行業參與者與氣候科學保持一致，並承諾基於科學的淨零目標。只有大家團結起來，我們才能成爲積極變革的力量。」
To reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050, Brilliant Earth has set the following near and long-term targets:
爲了在2050年前實現價值鏈的淨零溫室氣體排放，Brilliant Earth設定了以下短期和長期目標：
- 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.
- 整體淨零目標：到2050年實現價值鏈的淨零溫室氣體排放
- 短期目標：到2033年，減少相對於2023年基準年的絕對範圍1和2的溫室氣體排放54.6%，並在相同時間框架內減少絕對範圍3的溫室氣體排放32.5%。
- 長期目標：到2050年，減少相對於2023年基準年的絕對範圍1的溫室氣體排放90%，並在相同時間框架內減少絕對範圍2的溫室氣體排放100%和絕對範圍3的溫室氣體排放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.
近二十年來，Brilliant Earth一直在推動行業領先的實踐，包括爲鑽石開發可追溯性標準，例如超越衝突自由。該公司的減排目標經過SBTi的驗證，證明了Brilliant Earth長期以來超越行業標準的承諾，與內部運營和供應商合作創造持久的變化。
"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."
「我們最重要的使命優先事項之一是爲集體氣候相關解決方案做出貢獻。我們選擇與SBTi對齊，因爲該倡議能夠爲全球公司和金融機構提供明確定義的科學基礎的淨零目標路徑，」Brilliant Earth負責採購和可持續發展的副總裁Allison Charalambous表示。「通過SBTi，了解需要多快以及需要多少脫碳措施可以激發行動，使各行業的組織能夠在與氣候危機作鬥爭中發揮作用。」
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已經開始朝着其目標努力，包括自2018年以來計算溫室氣體排放。通過使用可再生能源信用，該公司利用這些數據將其自2022年以來的能源使用的範圍2市場基礎排放減少到零。從長遠來看，該公司的範圍2目標是增加可再生能源的直接採購。此策略已在進行中，新的展廳計劃於2024年及以後使用可再生能源。
