Beckers Group Receives SBTi Net-Zero Approval, Publishes 2024 Sustainability Report

Berlin, Germany - Beckers Group has published its 2024 Sustainability Report and announced the approval of its net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

The SBTi’s validation in March 2025 positions Beckers among the first companies in the coil coatings industry to have science-based net-zero targets formally approved. The newly published sustainability report highlights the company’s concrete progress in reducing carbon emissions, advancing product sustainability, and creating positive social impact.

Beckers’ near- and long-term net-zero targets for 2050 were officially approved by SBTi, underscoring the company’s commitment to climate action and decarbonization in its own operations and the industry.

Beckers is targeting to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across the entire value chain by 2050. Significant milestones on the way to net-zero are the 2030 near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 75% and Scope 3 emissions by 27.5% (both from a 2019 baseline).

“Building on the progress achieved in 2024, we are pleased that SBTi has approved our targets. This approval not only validates our direction but also reconfirms that our roadmap is grounded in science and aligned with the urgent need for climate action,” commented Beckers Chief Executive Officer, Christophe Sabas.

Nicklas Augustsson, Chief Sustainability Officer at Beckers, added: “Receiving SBTi approval is more than just a validation – it’s a call to action. We aim to lead by example and foster collaboration across the value chain to accelerate the shift toward a defossilized industry, with increased use of renewable carbon solutions.”

The 2024 Sustainability Report outlines Beckers’ sustainability performance and progress towards its targets. A key milestone in this year’s report is the publication of Beckers’ complete carbon footprint for the first time, enhancing transparency and underscoring the need for collaboration with suppliers and customers to reduce emissions across the product lifecycle.
