The validation from SBTi represents a landmark milestone in the development of Veralto's climate strategy.

• New targets:
  • Veralto commits that 60% of suppliers¹ will have a science-based target by 2030.
  • Veralto commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from Use of Sold Products by 61% per USD value added² by 2033 (from a base year of 2024).
