At Optimas we understand the importance of emission cuts if we are to achieve net-zero before 2050. That\u2019s why we are proud to have our net-zero targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).<\/p>\n

The SBTi is a collaboration between the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).<\/p>\n

In collaboration with the SBTi, we have defined ambitious science-based targets and will continue to work closely with the SBTI in reviewing our progress towards our goals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div>
