Jaguar Land Rover has announced its sustainability goals for 2030. By 2030, the company hopes to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 46% across its operations. (akumalmonkeysanctuary.com) In addition, JLR will reduce average vehicle emissions across its value chains by 54%, including a 60% reduction throughout the vehicle’s use phase.
The Science Based Target initiative has approved JLR’s goals (SBTi). The study confirms the company’s path to a 1.5°C reduction in emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement. Jaguar Land Rover’s commitment meets the most ambitious goal set in Paris.
By the end of the decade, Jaguar Land Rover will reduce its direct greenhouse gas emissions across vehicle manufacture and operations by 46 per cent in absolute value compared to a 2019 baseline. The company has also committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions per vehicle by an average of 54 per cent across the entire value chain, including a reduction of 60 per cent in the vehicle use phase.
These targets represent Jaguar Land Rover’s commitment to 2030, followed by a second-decade ambition for net-zero emissions across the supply chain, product, and operations by 2039, as part of its Reimagine strategy. To achieve this, the company will decarbonise across design and materials, manufacturing operations, supply chain, electrification, battery strategy, circular economy processes, and up to end-of-life treatment.

As we move from climate ambition into action, we are now embedding sustainability into the Jaguar Land Rover DNA to minimise our carbon footprint across our value chain. Science-based targets tell us how much and how quickly we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions as well as keeping stakeholders informed about our progress.”
