Scope 1, 2 and 3 targets approved by the SBTi are as follows:

Overall Net-Zero Target:Flutter commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions across the value chain by 2035. This is broken down as follows:
Near-Term Targets: Flutter commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 45% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. Flutter also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 45% within the same timeframe.
Long-Term Targets: Flutter commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by 2035 from a 2022 base year. Flutter also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 90% within the same timeframe.
Flutter will provide regular reporting on progress against these targets, in addition to the approach to managing climate-related risk and opportunities.
