KK Wind Solutions recently received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its climate targets, including a 63 percent reduction in direct operational emissions and a 38 percent reduction in supply chain emissions by 2035 compared to a 2024 baseline.
This validation confirms the company’s targets for direct operations are aligned with the reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C, while its value chain target is consistent with pathways to limit warming to well below 2°C, in line with the Paris Agreement. Founded in Denmark, KK Wind Solutions has been at the forefront of renewable energy innovation for more than four decades.
The approval of its targets by SBTi reaffirms the company’s role in supporting the global transition towards electrification and a low-carbon economy. KK Wind Solutions has committed to absolute reductions from a 2024 baseline, including a 63 percent reduction in direct emissions from operations, as well as a 38 percent reduction in emissions across its global value chain. By committing to absolute targets rather than relative reductions, the company ensures emissions must decrease in real terms, regardless of business growth. This approach requires decoupling of operational and value chain expansion from climate impact.
As a supplier to the wind and renewable energy sector, KK Wind Solutions recognizes its responsibility to act on climate change and to reduce emissions across both its operations and value chain. The company is taking concrete steps to decarbonize its own activities, including transitioning its vehicle fleet to hybrid and electric models and expanding on-site renewable energy generation, such as solar installation at its factory in India. At the same time, KK Wind Solutions is driving reductions across its value chain.
“The validation of our targets by the Science Based Targets initiative is an important milestone in our sustainability journey. Our approach extends beyond our own operations to include employees, customers and suppliers, ensuring that meaningful reductions are achieved across the value chain,” said Mauricio Quintana, CEO of KK Wind Solutions, Mauricio Quintana.
