Demant's Transition Plan consolidates the existing climate change mitigation plans and initiatives and details the different mitigation actions set by the Group to reduce the GHG emissions and reach our climate targets aligned with the Paris Agreement. The benchmarks provide a roadmap to ensure that company activities are consistent with the Paris Agreement’s objectives, particularly the goal of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

Regarding the link between the climate targets and the decarbonisation levers, for the near-term target in scope 1 and 2, the energy consumption reduction and efficiency in own operations (lever 1), along with the phase-in of renewable electricity for own operations (lever 2), will enable the required reduction by 2030. It is important to highlight that fleet electrification (lever 3) is a complementary effort to ensure that the GHG emissions reduction takes place as soon as possible and that the fossil fuel emissions from the fleet are controlled and do not jeopardise the near-term target. For the near-term target in scope 3, the relevance of each lever still needs to be assessed.
