Bechtle’s emission reduction plan gets SBTi nod

Bechtle has had its near and mid-term emissions reductions targets validated by the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi).

Mainland Europe’s largest reseller committed to SBTi in September 2023 in a move it said would “give more impetus” to the objectives already laid out in its Sustainability Strategy 2030.

The Germany-based giant has now received confirmation that its targets have been validated within the required 24-month timeframe.

These are to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 54.4% by 2030 (from a 2019 base year), and to reduce Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and use of sold products 55% per thousand EUR in the same timeframe.

Several of Bechtle’s peers – notably Softcat and Computacenter – have had net zero as well as near-term targets validated by SBTi.

On this front, Bechtle said it has now committed to the SBTi to becoming net zero by 2050 (compared with 2040 for both Softcat and Computacenter).

A collaboration between global bodies such as the UN and the CDP, SBTi claims its targets offer companies a “clear, actionable path to align emissions reductions with the Paris Agreement goals”.

Having opened up on its SBTi play last March, the world’s largest reseller, CDW, had its near-term targets validated by the body in November.

But progress has not been universal, with large IT solutions providers such as Crayon, SCC and SHI all appearing to have had certain commitments removed from SBTi’s dashboard (although the latter recently had its near-term commitment validated).

According to forecast figures referenced in its 2024 Annual Report (see p7), Bechtle pegged its total Co2 footprint last year at 2.086 million tonnes.

Some 99% of that was generated by Scope 3 emissions, however.

“SBTi’s validation of our targets affirms the credibility of our commitment to climate protection. As a leading IT service provider in Europe, we take our responsibility very seriously and fully support SBTi’s science-based approach,” stated Bechtle COO Antje Leminsky.
