Gränges

The Europe’s Climate Leaders list comprises European companies that achieved the greatest reduction in their core emissions intensity – scope 1 and 2 – in relation to revenue between 2017 and 2022. Companies on this list have also demonstrated a commitment to transparency in scope 3 reporting and further collaborations and commitments toward sustainability, such as CDP and SBTi. 
 
“Receiving this recognition from the Financial Times again not only confirms our ambitious sustainability goals but also recognizes the tangible results we have achieved in reducing our climate impact,” said Sofia Hedevåg, SVP Sustainability at Gränges. “It is a testament to our systematic efforts to raise transparency and traceability, which drive change and make Gränges a trusted partner for our customers and other stakeholders.”
