Tate & Lyle Strengthens Climate Ambition with Updated Science-Based Targets to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

London, UK – Tate & Lyle PLC (Tate & Lyle), a global leader in ingredient solutions for healthier food and beverages, announced updated science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) across its operations and supply chain. The new targets, which have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, apply to Tate & Lyle’s expanded global footprint and supply chain following its acquisition of CP Kelco in November 2024.

Tate & Lyle has committed to the following SBTi-validated science-based targets:

Energy and Industrial

• Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 63% by the year ended 31 March 2036 from a base year ended 31 March 2022.
• Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 63% within the same timeframe.

Forests, Land and Agriculture (FLAG)

• Reduce absolute Scope 3 FLAG emissions by 43% within the same timeframe.
• No deforestation across our primary deforestation-linked commodities, with a target date of
  31 December 2027.

These targets replace Tate & Lyle’s previously SBTi-validated science-based GHG emissions targets.

Nick Hampton, Chief Executive, Tate & Lyle, said: “Climate change is the greatest challenge facing our planet and Tate & Lyle recognises our responsibility to reduce the impact of our business on the environment and to support the transition to a lower carbon economy. That’s why sustainability is integral to the way we work at Tate & Lyle, and to the way we serve our customers. By continuing to align our goals with a 1.5 ^oC future, we are not only building greater resilience within our operations and supply chain, we’re also actively living our purpose to create a healthier and more sustainable world.”

Anna Pierce, Director of Sustainability, Tate & Lyle, said: “Our updated science-based targets demonstrate our commitment to sustainable production across our operations, and our ambition to work with our customers, suppliers and partners to accelerate the reduction of emissions throughout our value chain.”

In addition to updated science-based GHG emissions targets, Tate & Lyle remains committed to delivering on its other sustainability targets, as follows:

• 100% of purchased electricity for our operations to come from renewable sources by 2030
• 100% of waste to be beneficially used by 2030
• Reduce water use intensity by 15% by 2034
• Maintain sustainable acreage equivalent to the volume of corn purchased each year.
