Our recognitions

Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)

We have set a target for net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 across scope 1 (fuel), scope 2 (electricity) and scope 3 (value chain). This includes interim science-based targets to:

reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50% by 2030

reduce carbon intensity of purchased goods and services (scope 3, category 1) by 22%, and
major projects (scope 3, category 2) by 55% by 2030.

Our near-term 2030 GHG emissions targets are validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and our 2050 net-zero target is aligned with SBTi methodology.

See our Transurban GHG Basis of Preparation for detailed information about our targets and approach.
