Kemin Industries Commits to Science-Based Target Initiative

In conjunction with Earth Day, Kemin signs affirmation of emission-reduction efforts

DES MOINES, Iowa, April 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer that strives to sustainably transform the quality of life every day for 80 percent of the world with its products and services, has signed a commitment to the Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi) to affirm emissions reductions goals.  

Science-based targets provide a clearly defined pathway for companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping prevent the worst impacts of climate change and future-proof business growth.

Emissions reductions within Kemin's operations and along its value chain will accelerate the company's efforts to reduce the effects of climate change. In 2021, Kemin announced its goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 as part of its sustainability strategy. Kemin's commitment to SBTi provides a pathway to meet validated targets in line with the latest climate science and in accordance with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

"Our commitment to SBTi means we will use well-recognized methods backed by science to evaluate our emissions," said Kim Gibson, Associate Director of Global Sustainability, Kemin Industries. "Setting our pace for progress in the near term is an important part of Kemin's sustainability journey."
