We are aware that the transition to a climate-neutral economy could be slowed down by locked-in GHG emissions. Regarding Scope 1 and 2, certain processes cannot be converted to electricity yet. For Scope 3 downstream, the locked-in emissions depend on how the market will evolve in the coming years, in particular on the share of BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicle). However, it is important to point out that the higher the share of BEVs, the harder it is to reach the target set for Scope 3 upstream. We are developing plans to reduce emissions from downstream ICEs, and in particular, we are evaluating various technologies, including alternative fuels.

Following the former guidance provided by the SBTi for the transport sector, we chose 2021 as the base year for our emission targets as it was more representative of the actual Company situation (2020 figures were influenced by the effects of Covid-19). In 2022, we set targets considering the journey to electrification of our plants, including the phase-out of our trigenerator, and the assumptions of the product mix presented during our 2022 Capital Markets Day (CMD), and there was no other specific assumption regarding the evolution of the external context. The targets in the table below are obtained by transforming the CMD 2022 intensity targets into absolute targets based on the 2024 deliveries (13,752). Given that we plan to develop our new business plan in 2025, we are currently reviewing these targets.
