Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)

In July 2023, Link received approval of our Science Based Targets, through committing to the SBTI's streamlined and predefined routes for small and medium enterprises. Thus, we have committed to reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year to support limiting global warming to 1.5°C following the Paris Agreement.

By working with SBTi, we elevate our target-setting. For instance, we are committed to swapping our company-owned diesel and gasoline vehicles for electric ones. We have set the target that more than 80% of our company vehicles will be fully or partially electric by 2025. When we work with environmental projects and set targets to minimize our carbon footprint, we align with SBTi and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs)

To help us reach our goals, we signed The Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) in December 2022, which will be used as a framework and guideline for future strategic work with gender equality. The WEPs are informed by international labor and human rights standards.

They are grounded in the recognition that businesses have a stake in, as well as a responsibility for gender equality and women’s empowerment. WEP offers a Gender Gap tool to measure progress and initiatives within gender equality. We aim to elevate our WEP score in the gender gap tool, and in 2023, we moved from beginners to improvers, showcasing that we are making progress.

We value what diversity brings to our working environment, and we believe in supporting all genders in opportunities and career goals and have zero tolerance for gender discrimination. We encourage our employees to act with kindness, be friendly, and help foster an inclusive culture to avoid adverse impacts on their own or others’ human rights.
