2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Reducing Our Environmental Footprint | Combating Climate Change | 158 Photo submitted by: Abigail Sprague | Wabash, Indiana, U.S. Aurora Borealis, Fairbanks, Alaska, U.S. GOING FORWARD The need to combat climate change grows more urgent each year. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report, released in 2021, makes this abundantly clear. As scientists observe climate change in real time all over the globe, they note that its effects are accelerating and intensifying to an alarming degree. Many of the impacts of climate change can be mitigated by acting to reduce greenhouse gas emissions now, and this informs our 2030 goals. Reducing our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% is an ambitious goal, but it is what is required to limit global warming to under 1.5° C and the progress we have made gives us reason to be optimistic. We believe our people have the talent and the drive to accomplish this goal, and we are confident that we can work with our suppliers to reduce our Scope 3 emissions as well. The internal and external collaboration required to meet our goals is already built into our approach to combating climate change. We recognize that this level of collaboration is imperative — the threat of climate change continues to grow, and it can only be diminished through a concerted effort on the part of individuals, corporations, organizations, and governments around the world.
