UN Global Compact

In 2010, Nolato endorsed the UN initiative for responsible business conduct, the Global Compact. Through the Global Compact, Nolato endorses ten basic principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. In 2016, Nolato linked its Group targets to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

About United Nations Global Compact

UN Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals. The Sustainable Development Goals presented by the UN in 2015 are now also connected to the Global Compact.  

Science Based Targets initiative - Net-zero target approved

Nolato has approved near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets with the Science Based Targets initiative. Our science-based net-zero target is aligned with the 1.5°C pathway in the Paris Agreement. We will prioritize rapid, deep emissions reductions across our value chain and neutralize any residual emissions at net-zero in line with SBTi criteria.

Nolato AB commits to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2045.

Near term goal: Nolato AB also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions covering purchased good and services, capital goods, fuel-and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting and upstream leased assets 25% by 2030 from a 2021 base year. Nolato AB commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 70 % by 2030 from a 2021 base year. Long term goal: Nolato AB commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 90.0% by 2045 from a 2021 base year.

Nolato AB commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 95.0% by 2045 from a 2021 base year.

Europe´s Climate Leaders 2025

Nolato is included in the Financial Times in partnership with Statista´s list over Europe´s Climate Leader for the second year in a row and appreciate that our commitment to combat climate change is recognized.

The list focuses primarily on businesses that have achieved the greatest reduction in their Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity over a five-year period (2018-23 for this edition). Other factors are considered, too, such as companies’ transparency on Scope 3 emissions, which arise elsewhere in their value chains, and their collaboration with sustainability assessors, such as CDP and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
