Responsible Business

Driving down emissions

Driving down our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a key part of our responsible business agenda. We are committed to monitoring, managing and reducing our emissions to achieve our Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated target of being net-zero across our value chain by 2050.

Our ambitions

Belron STBi 2030 and 2050 emissions targets graph

These are our company targets, which the SBTi validated in 2023:

By 2030

Reduce Scope 1 & 2 (direct & indirect) emissions by 42%*; and
Reduce Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions by 25%*

By 2050

Belron commits to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050
Reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 90%*

^*^{from a 2021 base year}

Summary of our progress

In 2025, we achieved a 9% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions, and a 6% reduction in Scope 3 emissions compared to 2024. This was despite an increase in total job volumes of 3% and a sales increase of 4%.

Repair first

Our repair first strategy is at the heart of how we work around the world. Wherever possible we will repair a windscreen rather than replace it. A repair results in at least 80% less emissions than a replacement.*

Reducing fleet emissions

Our global fleet of around 11,200 vehicles is our largest single source of Scope 1 direct emissions.

By 2030, our aim is to reduce these emissions by lowering fuel consumption and improving efficiencies through route optimisation, driver training, newer more efficient vehicles, the roll-out of fully electric or hybrid vehicles, and the use of alternative lower emission fuels such as HVO (biodiesel).

At the end of 2025, 16% of our global fleet was electric (41% of all our cars, and 7% of our vans were fully electric).

Reducing building emissions

The power used to run our buildings made up 36%* of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Reducing the power we use, alongside its decarbonisation, will therefore be key to reaching our emission reduction targets.

In 2025, we sourced 100% of the electricity used within our buildings from renewable sources, up from 94% in 2024.

Our renewable sourcing includes on-site generation, green tariffs backed by Renewable Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) or Guarantees of Origin (GoOs), and the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to match our electricity consumption.
