These actions impact and reinforce one another to create change that is good for all.<br><br></p><h2 id="isPasted">Target’s sustainability journey</h2><p>Our work to bring solutions that better serve our communities and our environment can be seen across our business, including our sustainable product assortments, the increasing renewable energy footprint in our operations, our team members’ voluntary donations of their time and how we leverage our business assets to meet the needs of our communities.</p><ul><li>In 2019, we <a href="/article/2019/03/climate-goals" title="link opens in new window">set science-based targets</a> for emissions reductions across scopes 1, 2 and 3.

We are on track to achieve our 100% renewable electricity by 2030 goal and achieved its interim milestone, with 60% of our electricity procured from renewable sources<sup>1</sup> as of FY2022.</li><li>Our circular design principles of thoughtful material choice, durability, repairability and recyclability can be seen in two of our owned brands, <a href="https://www.target.com/b/universal-thread/-/N-1vs54" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Universal Thread</a> and <a href="https://www.target.com/b/everspring/-/N-gl7n0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Everspring</a>, and we accelerated our commitment to sustainable packaging in 2018 when we became signatories to the Global Commitment, led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in collaboration with the UN Environment Programme <a href="https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/global-commitment/overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Global Commitment</a>.</li><li>Voluntary donations of time, talent and money are longstanding Target traditions dating back to the founding of the Dayton Foundation in 1918.
