## What SBTi Validated for EQS Group

SBTi Services, the target validation subsidiary of the [Science Based Targets initiative](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0005nzo/science-based-targets-initiative), confirmed that [EQS Group](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000796t/eqs-group)'s targets for 2030 and 2050 meet the requirements of the initiative's Corporate Net-Zero Standard. That standard calls for companies to act in the near term and make deep emissions cuts over the longer term, in their own operations and across their value chains.

The validated near-term commitment covers a 51.6% reduction in scope 3 emissions per euro of value added by 2030. The long-term commitment covers a 90.0% cut in absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050 from the same 2022 base year, alongside a 97.0% reduction in scope 3 emissions per euro of value added.

EQS Group already sources renewable electricity at its main locations in Germany and Spain, encourages employees to commute by bicycle or public transport, and permits business travel by air or car only in exceptional cases. The company reports its greenhouse gas emissions annually.

"Our customers and partners expect the same transparency and accountability from us that we help them achieve," said Achim Weick, founder and CEO of EQS Group. "Setting science-based targets gives our emissions reduction work a clear direction."
