HYDERABAD, India, June 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — To help combat climate change, Sai Life Sciences, a global Contract Research, Development & Manufacturing Organization (CRO-CDMO), announced joining Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global body enabling businesses to set ambitious emission reduction targets in line with the latest climate science.

Accordingly, it has committed to set near-term company-wide emission reductions in line with climate science with the SBTi. These are 5-10-year GHG (Greenhouse gas) mitigation targets in accordance with the Paris Agreement’s aim to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C to avoid the catastrophic impacts of climate change.

Making the announcement, Krishna Kanumuri, CEO & Managing Director, Sai Life Sciences, said, “Sai Life Sciences has joined the SBTi to address a collective imperative. The association will help in sharpening our approach to assess the impact of climate change and develop a strategy to address it.
