HMS Networks commits to net-zero emissions – validated by Science-Based Targets
HMS Networks AB has received official validation of its climate targets from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) — a significant milestone in the company’s journey toward a sustainable future. This approval reinforces HMS’ commitment to reducing emissions in line with climate science and the goals of the Paris Agreement.
HMS products help customers improve productivity and sustainability. Companies turn to HMS to enable communication for machines and devices — thereby reducing energy consumption and service travel. But HMS also have high targets for their own sustainability agenda.
“Ambitious goals for a sustainable future are no longer optional, they are essential. With our targets validated by the SBTi, we are demonstrating that we take our climate responsibility seriously – a demand not only from ourselves, but also from customers, partners and investors,” said Staffan Dahlström, CEO at HMS Networks
