The 2015 Paris Agreement is the first worldwide effort to limit global warming, aiming to keep temperature rise well below 2°C, and ideally to 1.5°C, compared with pre-industrial levels, to keep our planet livable.
In 2023, A.P.C. committed to reducing its CO₂e emissions in alignment with this Agreement.
Our decarbonization targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), an international body ensuring scientific rigor in emissions-reduction pathways. To monitor progress, A.P.C. calculates its carbon footprint® with Carbonfact, following the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the international reference standard for carbon accounting.

- Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are linked to our energy consumption, represent 1% of our carbon footprint®. Thanks to the switch to renewable electricity in more than half of our facilities worldwide, these emissions fell by 43% in absolute terms between 2022 and 2024. Though we have already met our final target, we remain committed to our efforts.

- Scope 3 emissions are those indirectly generated throughout our value chain and account for 99% of our footprint. In 2024, driven notably by our growing use of recycled and organic materials, we reduced them by 31% in monetary intensity compared with 2022.
Those results are audited and certified by Deloitte.
