Paris Agreement to Today

beschrijving van wat het bedrijf heet gedaan en misdaan sinds het akkoord van Parijs Unilever has pledged to be carbon positive by 2030. This is how organisations describe climate positive and carbon negative. It's mainly a marketing term. Unilever has collaborations through international alliances. They have been experimenting with different forms of internal carbon pricing schemes, this is the concept of applying a cost to each tonne of carbon emitted. They will not finance assets within their operations which are inconsistent with achieving a 100% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030.[7] Scope 3 is not included in this measure. Unilever has pledged to halve their use of virgin plastic by 2025 and to design all their packaging to be fully reusable, recyclable or compostable.[8]

Bedrijfsspecifieke Passage in 'de brief'

U heeft uw duurzaamheidsbeleid vastgelegd in [opsomming stukken].

Wij constateren dat uw ambitie is om uw uitstoot van broeikasgassen van Scope 1 en 2 tegen 2030 met 100 procent verminderd te hebben, u wilt ook tegen 2030 100 procent hernieuwbare energie gebruiken. Het is duidelijk dat u daarmee niet binnen een gezond pad van anderhalve graden blijft, aangezien de afname van uw Scope 1 en 2 uitstoten te gering is en uw Scope 3 uitstoot is toegenomen.

In uw plannen blijkt niet goed hoe u uw ambities gaat realiseren. Dat is een grote tekortkoming en dat maakt de ambitie niet geloofwaardig.

Daarmee draagt uw bedrijf bij aan gevaarlijke klimaatverandering en loopt u het materiële risico om mensenrechtenschendingen te veroorzaken.
