Logicalis achieves SBTi approval

MSP is on track to achieve net zero by 2050 and carbon neutral on scope 1 and 2 by 2025

Happy Earth Day to Logicalis for achieving Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validation and approval on its net zero emissions target.

SBTi has classified Logicalis's scope 1 and 2 target ambition as in line with a 1.5°C trajectory, with their commitment to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50 per cent by 2030 and 85 per cent of their suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services will have science-based targets by 2028.

Logicalis's long-term target ambitions on scope 1, 2, and 3 are aligned for reaching net zero by 2050 or sooner.

The recognition comes after Logicalis committed to the SBTi Corporate Net Zero Standard in early 2023, the world's first framework for corporate net zero target setting in line with climate science.

The technology service provider says it has spent the last two years accelerating its responsible business practices, using precise and targeted scientific measurements.

After careful review, Logicalis has now achieved what it has billed as "the most ambitious" designation available through the SBTi process.

The MSP joins the ranks of fellow UK channel partners Softcat and Computacenter who have also earned SBTi recognition.

Meanwhile, world's largest IT solutions provider, CDW and SCC await SBTi approval.
