SK Shieldus aims to source all of its electricity from renewable energy this year as the security company expands its emission-reduction efforts across its operations and supply chain. The plan follows the approval of its near-term emissions targets by the Science Based Targets initiative in 2025. SK Shieldus said it was the first Korean security company to have its targets validated by the initiative, which assesses corporate emissions targets against climate science. Using 2023 as its base year, the company aims to cut its direct greenhouse gas emissions, known as Scope 1, by 99 percent by 2029. It also plans to maintain 100 percent renewable electricity use from 2026 through 2030 and reduce other indirect emissions across its value chain, or Scope 3, by 55 percent by 2033. Its longer-term goal is to achieve net-zero emissions across Scope 1 and Scope 2, which covers emissions associated with purchased energy, by 2040. The targets address energy demand from operations including round-the-clock monitoring centers, a nationwide dispatch network and security equipment installed at custome
