Sonions commitment.

In Sonion, we aspire to balance sustainable innovation and commercial success with global environmental and social responsibility to all our stakeholders and at all Sonion locations.

Our ESG aspiration complements our focus on commercial success based on moral and ethical obligations to operate responsibly and to the highest standards.

We actively integrate ESG considerations into our business processes and operations and continuously strive to improve our practices and minimize our environmental impact.

Decarbonization – our targets.

Sonion has joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), committing us to set targets in line with what climate science deems necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

In October 2024, SBTi formally approved our targets to reduce our absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% and scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. In our annual ESG reports, we will report on the progress that we are making in meeting our reduction targets.
