The Weir Group, a global mining technology leader, is delighted to announce it has, for the first time, secured a place on CDP’s prestigious ‘A List’ for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change.

The A List recognises companies that are leading the way in cutting emissions, mitigating climate risks and contributing to the low-carbon economy. Our ‘A’ rating in 2022 is an improvement on our A- score in both 2020 and 2021 and reflects our substantial progress in executing our sustainability strategy. This includes:

Cutting absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions from our operations by 15% between 2019 and 2021.
Sharing our strategies to respond to the risks and opportunities presented by climate change, as part of a comprehensive Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) report.
Committing to new, more ambitious SBTi-aligned targets to reduce our absolute scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions by 30% and absolute scope 3 CO2e emissions by 15% across operations and value chain by 2030, versus a 2019 baseline. The targets have been submitted for review and validation by SBTi.
Publishing the results of our first scope 3 CO2e emissions study which showed that 97% of Weir’s emissions come from scope 3 emissions from our products in use by our customers

Weir is a leading supplier of innovative, highly engineered technology to the world’s mining industry and with a large proportion of our total emissions falling within scope 3, our biggest contribution to tackling climate change will come from providing sustainable solutions for our customers.
