FENC’s customer, Decathlon, established carbon reduction targets through Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) in 2019. Decathlon’s commitments include that 90% of its suppliers must define their own SBTi targets by 2024. To align with this commitment, FEIS attended Decathlon’s 2021 carbon reduction training through video conferencing and completed the following tasks:

1. In February 2021, FEIS adopted Decathlon’s GHG emission validation system.
2. In June 2021, FEIS completed the trainings for RE100, carbon trading, green electricity procurement and i-REC.
3. In September 2021, FEIS established SBTi targets for filament products targeting Decathlon. The targets are to reduce carbon emissions by 25.2% by 2026 compared to 2021, in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. FEIS has also completed its carbon reduction roadmap and statement.
4. In November 2021, SGS, which was authorized by Decathlon, reviewed and validated the SBTi targets and proposals from FEIS on filament products. 
    

After communicating with key contacts within Decathlon for nearly a year, FEIS was able to familiarize itself with the sporting goods retailer’s carbon reduction targets and action plans, along with its requirements for suppliers. The process has deepened this long-term partnership. As the first FENC site to define its SBTi targets, FEIS established a firm foundation for the Company on its path to carbon reduction. The experience will further benefit other FENC sites to implement SBTi targets.
