Climate change is no longer a distant risk — the latest climate science described by the United Nations as a “code red for humanity” makes clear that rapid and deep emissions reductions are essential this decade to keep global warming within 1.5°C.
In response to this urgent call for action, One Click LCA has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions in line with climate science.
One Click LCA commits to reducing scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions by 58.8% by 2034 from a 2022 base year, and to measure and reduce its scope 3 emissions.
SBTi Services’ Target Validation Team has classified our scope 1 and 2 target ambition and determined that it is in line with a 1.5°C trajectory. The SBTi commends this ambitious 1.5°C-aligned target — currently the most ambitious designation available through the SBTi process.
This commitment reflects One Click LCA’s responsibility not only as a climate software provider, but also as a company taking action within its own operations and value chain.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a global body that enables companies and financial institutions to set greenhouse gas reduction targets aligned with the latest climate science.
It is a collaboration between:
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
This initiative ensures that corporate climate commitments are consistent with the level of decarbonization required to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, as set out in the Paris Agreement.
By participating in the SBTi, companies demonstrate that their climate targets are grounded in independent scientific criteria and transparent validation processes.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) makes it clear: it is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C — but we are dangerously close to that threshold. Achieving this goal requires halving global emissions before 2030 and reaching net-zero globally before 2050.
Science-based targets translate this global ambition into concrete, measurable corporate action.
Setting a science-based target allows One Click LCA to:
As highlighted by the UN Global Compact, the Science Based Targets initiative is a critical global effort encouraging companies to take proactive steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Participating companies demonstrate their commitment to sustainability while helping reduce the impact of climate change.
As a company enabling life cycle assessment and decarbonization across the built environment and manufacturing sectors, One Click LCA believes its own emissions reductions must align with the level of progress we help our customers achieve.
Setting a target is only the beginning.
One Click LCA will:
Climate action requires urgency, accountability, and collaboration. One Click LCA encourages partners, customers, and stakeholders to align with climate science by committing to science-based, 1.5°C-aligned targets as well.
Together, rapid and deep emission reductions across sectors can help keep the 1.5°C goal within reach.
