MONTREAL – Cogeco marked Science Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi) #ClimateActionDay today by announcing it is aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
Cogeco, which announced earlier this year it was committing to new emissions reduction targets that were approved by SBTi, has been helping fight climate change in recent years through actions such as voluntarily disclosing its “climate impact and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the global disclosure system run by the internationally recognized organization CDP,” a press release says.
The company has also implemented a corporate social responsibility program, “which encompasses a number of initiatives aimed at optimally managing our environmental footprint.”
This includes “greening” its vehicle fleet and increasing its use of renewable energy, according to the press release.
The company also held its first 1Cogeco Community Involvement Day last month, “during which tree-planting events were organized in more than 46 communities in Canada and the United States.”
