Taking science-based climate action

No one can solve the climate crisis alone. To scale up our climate efforts and align our business with science-based climate goals, Ragn-Sells has joined the Exponential Roadmap Initiative (ERI), a collaborative climate initiative aiming to halve global carbon emissions by 2030.

The ever-increasing use of virgin raw materials is a key driver of climate change, biodiversity loss, and water shortages. To address these planetary challenges, Ragn-Sells is committed to reducing our operational and value chain emissions, as well as contributing to avoided emissions through our circular solutions.

– Becoming a member of ERI and setting verified, science-based climate goals was a significant milestone for us in 2025. Although the process was challenging, it helped us build momentum in our climate efforts. Most importantly, it enabled us to ensure that our climate efforts are grounded in science, says Miranda Jensen, Head of Group Function Environment at Ragn-Sells Group.

As members of the Exponential Roadmap Initiative, we receive valuable support to expand these efforts and ensure that they align with the latest science. As part of the process of becoming ERI members, we have reviewed our climate goals and developed a transition plan to map out the way forward.

– Going forward, our focus will be on embedding the transition across the organisation. It is important that it is not only driven from the top down, but that we consider how all business areas can contribute. Follow-up mechanisms are also essential to ensure that our actions actually make a difference, says Miranda.

In 2025, Solvent Recycling Solutions, a joint venture between Ragn-Sells and environmental technology company Vilokan, became the third product to qualify under the Climate Solutions Framework.

– We chose to become members of the ERI because they prioritise reducing operational and value chain emissions, as well as initiatives that contribute to emission avoidance and social change. Given our role as thought leaders in the circular transition, this approach was a perfect match, says Miranda.

Exponential Roadmap Initiative

The Exponential Roadmap Initiative (ERI) is a climate initiative that supports companies in taking science-based climate action by providing frameworks, tools, and collaboration across five key pillars.

1. Cut operational emissions

Pillar 1 focuses on actions to reduce emissions from the member companies’ own operations (Scope 1 and 2). ERI helps companies set science-based targets and develop transition plans in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C global warming ambition.

2. Decarbonise the value chain

Pillar 2 focuses on actions to reduce emissions from the member companies’ value chains (Scope 3).

In addition to reducing emissions from own operations and throughout the value chain, the ERI also encourages efforts such as political advocacy, behavioural change initiatives, and innovation that replace high-emission products with low-emission alternatives. To promote the latter, the ERI has established the Climate Solutions Framework, which sets criteria for what constitutes a climate solution.

3. Build and scale solutions

Pillar 3 focuses on scaling climate and nature solutions, such as product and technology innovations, business-model and value-chain transformation, and customer engagement.

4. Mobilise finance and investments

Pillar 4 focuses on mobilising capital to accelerate climate action within and beyond the value chain, for example by driving investment in technology.

5. Shape policy and narrative

Pillar 5 focuses on initiatives that help shape public policy and narratives to enable system change and make low-carbon, circular choices the default.
