Validating SBTi Net Zero Targets for LIPTON Teas & Infusions
The Situation
LIPTON Teas and Infusions is the world’s largest tea business, with world-class brands that are household names such as Lipton, Pukka, TAZO, T2 and PG Tips. The company has production sites in four continents and a presence in more than 100 countries.
Anthesis Group was engaged to complete a GHG inventory, and support LIPTON Teas and Infusions in the establishment of their Science Based Targets (including Forest, Land and Agriculture – FLAG targets).
Alongside this, Anthesis worked with LIPTON Teas and Infusions to develop a decarbonisation roadmap, which would facilitate understanding of target feasibility, and identification of the opportunities for greatest impact to achieve an ambitious net-zero target across its entire value chain by 2040.
Our Solutions
Anthesis provided:
- A full GHG inventory for scope 1, 2, 3 and FLAG emissions.
- Support and guidance throughout the SBTi submission & target validation process (including FLAG targets).
- Identification and quantification of decarbonisation levers in sessions with Anthesis experts from agri-food, packaging, manufacturing, supply chain, change management, and climate alongside LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ supply-chain, research and innovation, and manufacturing teams.
- An assessment of LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ overall business model to identify barriers and opportunities.
- A reduction roadmap to model the impact of decarbonisation measures.
- A change impact assessment to identify internal and external stakeholder groups that would be critical to successful implementation of decarbonisation measures.
Impacts of the Project
The high-level reduction roadmap that was developed is ambitious but remains realistic and pragmatic. It balances the need to lay the foundations for a long-term business transformation with the need for rapid decarbonisation to meet LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ now validated near-term and long-term science-based, net-zero targets.
LIPTON Teas and Infusions is now focused on early intervention to decouple growth from GHG emissions, reducing business constraints and introducing stretch goals.
By establishing a Science Based Target, and executing its reduction roadmap, LIPTON Teas and Infusions can lead not only in the market but also set a precedent, leading by example for its suppliers.
