30 Apr 2018 --- The number of companies with scientifically recognized climate targets has exceeded 100 for the first time in April 2018. The global Science-Based Targets initiative (SBT) certifies the climate targets of interested market participants according to whether they are in line with current research and are working to reduce CO2 emissions on par with the standards of the Paris Climate Agreement. Symrise is one of twelve German companies that have participated so far. The Holzminden-based company says it is ahead of its schedule when it comes to implementation.
