As outlined in Sensata’s 2022 Sustainability Report, Energy and
Emissions is one of the Company’s key material topics, in addition
to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Responsible Sourcing.
The new goal to achieve 45% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2
market-based emissions by 2030 compared to a 2021 baseline is
consistent with climate science and supports the Paris Agreement in
pursuing efforts to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C
above pre-industrial levels.
In 2021, Sensata committed to achieve carbon neutrality in its
operations by 2050 and reduce Scope 1 and 2 market-based greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions intensity per $1 million in revenue by 10% by
2026, from a 2021 baseline. The Company exceeded this goal ahead of
schedule in 2022, achieving 10.7% reduction in emissions intensity.
Sensata also expects to exceed its 2023 goal to reduce Scope 1 and
2 market-based GHG emissions intensity by five percent compared to
2022.
“Our markets and consumers are seeking solutions in
electrification, and we are responding with innovative technologies
and impactful new products,” said Sensata Technologies CEO and
President, Jeff Cote. “We are making consistent progress with
annual reductions in market-based emissions, and we are supporting
customers that have set their own goals to reduce emissions in
their supply chains. However, we recognize the need to do more –
and our new goal for 45% absolute emissions reduction in Scope 1
and 2 market-based emissions by 2030 reflects our continued
commitment for a more sustainable future."
Path to Carbon Neutrality
The new goal builds on Sensata’s long-term goal to achieve
carbon neutrality in its operations by 2050. The Company’s
renewable energy roadmap, designed to accelerate carbon neutrality,
includes projects to improve the energy efficiency of operations
and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, among other initiatives.
As nearly 90 percent of total energy consumption occurs at its
manufacturing facilities, Sensata is incorporating renewable energy
into its portfolio. The Attleboro headquarters, Engineering Center
in Hengelo, Netherlands and Unit 7 and 11 buildings in Antrim,
Northern Ireland are powered 100% by renewable electricity via
sourcing from local utility providers, and the Company plans to
procure additional renewable energy credits at other sites. In
2023, on-site solar panel projects were completed at facilities in
Plovdiv, Bulgaria and Malaysia. Additional panels will be added at
the site in Malaysia, and panels will be installed at Sensata’s
Botevgrad, Bulgaria location in 2024.
As part of its Energy Efficiency Playbook, Sensata continues to
evaluate opportunities including LED lighting, upgrades of HVAC and
other systems as well as working with energy providers to identify
opportunities for bundled renewable energy supply, where
available.
As climate change accelerates the need for decarbonizing the
planet, these actions are part of a multipronged approach toward
environmental sustainability and complement Sensata’s overall
strategy to provide solutions in electrification.
Additionally, to bolster supplier engagement in sustainability,
Sensata launched two supplier sustainability surveys in 2023 – a
Recycled Content Survey and a Climate Change Survey – as suppliers
play a significant role in reducing upstream greenhouse gas
emissions associated with Sensata’s solutions.
