The business-focused platform Hubspot gets SBTi validation for its 2040 commitments, including reducing scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 base.
In addition to the long term target, the brand commits to reducing scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from business travel by 55% per employee by 2030, as well as ensuring that 70% of its suppliers have science-based targets by 2027.
The move signifies that Hubspot is taking steps to keep its facilities in line with the Paris Agreement to keep temperatures at no more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
It will also see the brand look towards net zero by focusing on key areas encompassing making buildings sustainable with energy efficiency technologies including solar panels, providing resources for employees to reduce their carbon footprint, and sustainable criteria in new building leases.
