SK Shieldus, a security company in Korea, has announced its commitment to sourcing all of its electricity from renewable energy sources for 2026 to 2030. This move is part of the company's broader emission-reduction efforts across its operations and supply chain. The plan was approved by the Science Based Targets initiative in 2025, making SK Shieldus the first Korean security company to have its climate targets validated by the initiative.
The company's 2023 base year emissions targets include a 99% reduction in direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1) by 2029, a 100% renewable electricity use from 2026 to 2030, and a 55% reduction in other indirect emissions (Scope 3) by 2033. The company also aims to achieve net-zero emissions across Scope 1 and Scope 2 (emissions associated with purchased energy) by 2040.
