A milestone on the road to net zero
An important step towards credible, science-based climate action.
Altor’s Net Zero target has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, marking an important step in our work to support credible climate action across the portfolio.
With the approval, Altor becomes the first private equity firm in the Nordics and DACH region with an SBTi-approved Net Zero target. We look forward to continuing the work together with our portfolio companies and the wider Altor community.
Stephanie Hubold, Head of Sustainability“We are very pleased to have our net-zero targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. This is an important milestone for Altor and reflects the work we have been doing to embed ambitious, science-based climate action across our portfolio. The approval is not the end goal, but provides a strong foundation for continuing to support our portfolio companies in setting credible transition plans and accelerating meaningful emissions reductions,”
