STOCKHOLM--Swedish truck maker Scania AB said Monday that it is
joining The Climate Pledge, committing to reach net zero carbon
emissions by 2040--10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement.
The Climate Pledge, founded by Amazon.com Inc. and Global
Optimism in 2019, seeks to bring together a group of companies and
organizations prepared to move faster and inspire greater climate
action. It is led by former UN climate chief and founding partner
of Global Optimism Christiana Figueres, and Tom Rivett-Carnac,
former political strategist at the UNFCCC.
The commitment to The Climate Pledge means Scania agrees to
three principals of action, including to measure and report
greenhouse gas emissions on a regular basis, implement
decarbonization strategies in line with the Paris Agreement through
real business changes and innovations, and neutralize any remaining
emissions to achieve net zero annual carbon emissions by 2040.
