Rogers Net-Zero Targets Approved by SBTi

Rogers today announced its net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets have been approved by the globally recognized Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Rogers is the first national carrier in Canada to have approved science-based net-zero targets published by the SBTi. The global organization for corporate climate goals validates submitted targets and action plans to ensure they are in line with the Paris Agreement.  

The company’s action plan will aim to deliver on environmental commitments in four key areas: 

  • Increasing energy efficiencies across its operations and network   
  • Transitioning its fleet to electric and hybrid vehicles    
  • Expanding its renewable energy strategy    
  • Engaging suppliers to set their own science-based targets 

Rogers efforts have already reduced scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 33% since 2019. Rogers long-term net-zero targets are to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions to net-zero by 2050. Near-term targets are to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 and ensure 80% of its suppliers set their own science-based targets by 2029.
