In 2025, 3M India completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, 3M India has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.
| Metric (tCO2e) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022-2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Total Scope 1 | 4,550a | 9,610a | 8,790b | |
Total Scope 2 | ||||
Unspecified Calculation Method | 10,774a | 10,300a | 8,230b | |
Total Scope 3 | 551,734a | 132,000a | 161,000b | |
Total Scope 1 Revenue Intensity (tCO2e/$M) | 8.7448a | 19.1296a | 18.2267b |

In 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 3M India amounted to 15,324 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 3M India decreased by 23.03%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of 3M India were 4,550 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2023, 3M India's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 48.24%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), 3M India's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 52.65%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2025, 3M India reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 10,774 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2023, 3M India's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have increased by 30.91%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), 3M India's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that 3M India's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, 3M India reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2025, 3M India reported 551,734 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of 3M India includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, 3M India reported total Scope 3 emissions of 551,734 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2023, 3M India's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 242.69%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), 3M India's Scope 3 emissions increased by 317.98%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2025, 3M India reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 4,550 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 520 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 8.74 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, 3M India reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 8.74 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 60.08, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, 3M India ranked 7 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
3M India is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, 3M India reported a total carbon footprint of 567,058 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 273.29% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to 3M India's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 97.3% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 1.9%.a
