Celebrating World Environment Day: Dechra Reaches Climate Milestone 5 Years Early

05 June 2025

This World Environment Day, Dechra is proud to celebrate a significant milestone on our journey to net-zero.

Dechra is nearly five years ahead of schedule in achieving our near-term Scope 1 and 2 science-based climate targets. Our target for 2030 was 43%, we are already at 40%. 

This achievement is the result of many small, smart choices made consistently over time – from implementing energy-efficient upgrades at our manufacturing sites to transitioning to renewable electricity.

Milton McCann, Dechra’s Group Manufacturing and Supply Chain Director, said: “I am delighted with the advancement to meet our near-term targets. This reflects progress in how we operate as a business. What makes it even more meaningful is the commitment and practical efforts of Dechra teams across the globe.

“It’s not about one big change, but the small, thoughtful decisions. While sustainability is something I care about personally, what’s most rewarding is seeing how collective action can lead to real improvements—sometimes faster than we expect.” 

As we reflect on this achievement, it’s also a great time to revisit our Resilient Planet video, which outlines the core principles of our Sustainability Strategy and our long-term commitment to environmental stewardship. 

This World Environment Day, we’re not just celebrating the planet—we’re celebrating the people and progress driving meaningful change. Thank you to everyone who has played a role in this accomplishment.
