AKU has been committed to environmental and social responsibility issues for more than 10 years, since 2011.
At that time the context was not entirely clear, we were sailing a bit by sight, but we already believed in it. Not to follow trends or to chase European regulations that were popping up in a disorderly fashion, but because we knew
a simple thing: if you produce you emit, generating an impact, but if you make conscious choices you can also reduce – or at least contain – that impact.
Since then, many things have changed. Projects have been born, concrete results have been obtained based on certain and truly exciting data – but the approach has always remained the same: scientific, measurable, concrete. Calculation – reduction – calculation. It's mathematics and mathematics doesn't make mistakes.
This is why, for AKU, joining SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) was a natural, almost obvious, evolution. SBTi asks companies to establish a base year, define a reduction target
emissions and then hit it within a target year. No vague statements, just numbers. Just the way we like it.
In June 2025 AKU was officially validated by SBTi.
This means that our reduction plan has been approved and that our journey towards decarbonisation has, in effect, begun.
A long, challenging but necessary path. Above all, in line with the Paris Agreement , which aims to limit the increase in global temperature within 1.5 °C compared to pre-industrial levels.
“ AKU is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 58.8% by 2034, compared to a base year of 2022, and to measure and reduce its Scope 3 emissions ”
How is it done?
- Calculating our base year emissions
- Implementing the action plan for emission reduction in the targeted categories
- By calculating your company's emissions annually and then evaluating whether this action plan is effective.
We won't wait until 2034 to tell the story.
Each year we will calculate and certify our emissions with a third party , according to the ISO 14064 standard, and share the results, whether positive or negative, in our annual Responsibility Report .
AKU once again confirms its responsible commitment to the environment, with a science-based reduction program and transparent communication.
We continue our journey with enthusiasm, determination and confidence in change, reaffirming the principle of responsible action as a guideline and central value of our business project.
