As outlined in Sensata’s 2022 Sustainability Report, Energy and Emissions is one of the Company’s key material topics, in addition to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Responsible Sourcing.

The new goal to achieve 45% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 market-based emissions by 2030 compared to a 2021 baseline is consistent with climate science and supports the Paris Agreement in pursuing efforts to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

In 2021, Sensata committed to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations by 2050 and reduce Scope 1 and 2 market-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity per $1 million in revenue by 10% by 2026, from a 2021 baseline. The Company exceeded this goal ahead of schedule in 2022, achieving 10.7% reduction in emissions intensity. Sensata also expects to exceed its 2023 goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 market-based GHG emissions intensity by five percent compared to 2022.

“Our markets and consumers are seeking solutions in electrification, and we are responding with innovative technologies and impactful new products,” said Sensata Technologies CEO and President, Jeff Cote. “We are making consistent progress with annual reductions in market-based emissions, and we are supporting customers that have set their own goals to reduce emissions in their supply chains. However, we recognize the need to do more – and our new goal for 45% absolute emissions reduction in Scope 1 and 2 market-based emissions by 2030 reflects our continued commitment for a more sustainable future."
