EDITORIAL PROTECTING THE ESSENTIAL The climate issue is high on the agenda for Trelleborg and, in this regard, we have spent time identifying effective ways forward. In February 2021, we announced our new climate strategy which addresses the 1.5°C target for society. The new climate target is called “50 by 25”. In short, we aim to reduce direct and indirect co2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 50 percent related to sales by 2025. Furthermore, our climate vision is to eliminate all emissions from our own operations completely by 2035 — and to continue significant reductions of indirect greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions along the value chain, (Scope 3). In this issue of T-Time you can read about how Trelleborg’s solutions contribute to sustainable development, from space to seabed. Our seals are used in an extremely large telescope and our engineered coated fabrics help to retrieve abandoned ghost nets from the sea.
