Leading the Way to a Net-Zero Future with the Science Based Targets Initiative

We’re excited to share the news that the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has officially approved Radius Systems’ near-term and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions reductions targets which include our UK sister companies Radius Subterra and Radius CTS. It is a huge step forward in our journey to creating a sustainable future, and we’re proud to be leading the charge in the pipeline technology industry.

The latest climate science from the IPCC - described by the UN as “code red for humanity” - shows it is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, but we are dangerously close to that threshold. It is beyond important that rapid and deep emission cuts are made so that we halve global emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero before 2050.

What Does SBTi Approval Mean?

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) helps companies set science-driven goals to reduce emissions in line with the latest climate science. Having our targets approved by the SBTi supports us on our way to achieving net-zero emissions by 2045. We’re not just setting goals; we’ve set credible, science-backed targets, and we’re demonstrating leadership and will encourage all our stakeholders to align with climate science by committing to science-based 1.5°C and net-zero targets too.

Transparency and Accountability

By sharing our verified greenhouse gas emissions data, we will ensure that we can be held accountable for our progress. It's all about building trust, and we want to lead by example so that others in the industry are inspired to follow suit.

As a company in the pipeline technology industry taking these significant steps, we're committed to more than just hitting numbers on a page. Radius Systems is focused on setting the standard for sustainability. Our 2023 emissions baseline has been independently verified by SBTi and the same independent authority will assess our progress. Every year we will publish how we are performing against our net-zero targets.

Driving Industry Change, Together

This milestone is just one piece of a much bigger picture. We're committed to driving industry-wide change, with a special focus on collaborating with our supply chain to help the entire industry become net-zero by 2050. In fact, our objective is to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2045. A Cleaner Future Starts Now According to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, UK carbon emissions fell by 4% in 2024. A positive step forward, but there's still more to be done. Building a sustainable future is a responsibility we all share and at Radius we are committed to leading by example. Here’s how we’re already making a difference:
