- Provide a detailed explanation of how your organization ensures the consistency of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets with the established GHG inventory boundaries. This should include a disclosure of targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions, whether reported separately or combined. If targets are combined, specify which GHG emission scopes are covered, the proportion related to each scope, and the specific GHGs included. Confirm that these targets are gross targets, excluding GHG removals, carbon credits, or avoided emissions as methods to achieve the reduction targets, in accordance with Disclosure Requirement E1-6.

Question Id: E1-4_18
As URW is committed to reach net zero on its Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030 and on its Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2050, the Group is prioritising the reduction of its own GHG emissions, through ambitious reduction targets (at least -90% by 2030 on Scopes 1 and 2 and by 2050 on Scopes 1, 2 and 3, with both targets from a 2015 baseline in absolute value of carbon emissions equivalent). In addition, and in accordance with the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard, URW is committed to permanently neutralising residual emissions at the net zero target year and GHG emissions released into the atmosphere thereafter. In this regard, URW already secured the first step of its neutralising strategy, engaging with MIROVA and WWF to increase GHG removals at a level covering the 10% annual residual emissions of its Scopes 1 and 2 from 2030 to 2050. URW will continue exploring opportunities to deal with its Scope 3 residual emissions (for 2050 onwards) prioritising removals within its own value chain. In any case, URW does not and will not rely on GHG removal credits nor GHG avoidance credits to reach its GHG carbon reduction targets. Those credits will always be counted separately from the Group’s own GHG emissions.
