QinetiQ will need to successfully deliver a diverse range of initiatives to achieve Net-Zero. As is necessary to limit global warming to a 1.5ºC scenario, the scope of our Net-Zero Pathway covers all of our whole value chain, globally, across all of our Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
We have developed achievable targets based on a planned programme of activities; applying a data-driven approach to inform what we do and when. We also recognise that options for tackling GHG emissions will evolve or newly emerge and so we will continue to horizon scan for opportunities to accelerate our transition to becoming a Net-Zero organisation.

We submitted our full set of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions targets to the SBTi in January 2022, with formal assessment and validation scheduled for later this year. We also contribute to and influence the climate change improvements of our wider value chain, which assists our customers and suppliers adapt to intensifying sustainability challenges. We commit to:
