dormakaba signs UN-backed “Uniting Business and Governments to Recover Better” statement

Tuesday, June 16, 2020

Human health depends on planetary health. dormakaba is proud to be one of over 150 global companies urging world leaders for net-zero recovery from Covid-19 in the largest ever UN-backed CEO-led climate advocacy effort.

With Covid-19, we are facing a global pandemic that has major negative impact on people and their livelihoods, disrupting supply chains, accentuating  inequalities and putting progress on the Sustainable Development Goals in question. At the same time, we continue to face a global climate challenge with severe impacts for people and all the natural systems that sustain us. In the face of these interconnected challenges, we cannot afford to tackle one or the other. Human health depends on planetary health. We can — and must — tackle both. As dormakaba is setting ambitious corporate emission reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative, we remain committed to do our part to achieve a resilient, zero carbon economy. The businesses backing the “Uniting Business and Governments to Recover Better” statement are now urging Governments to prioritize a faster and fairer transition from a grey to a green economy by aligning policies and recovery plans with the latest climate science.
