In 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Amcor PLC amounted to 10,958,000 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 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Amcor PLC increased by 507.32%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.ab
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Amcor PLC were 430,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2020, Amcor PLC's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 20.38%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2023), Amcor PLC's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 7.2%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.ab
In 2024, Amcor PLC reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,168,000 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 10,528,000 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2020, Amcor PLC's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have increased by 597.46%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ac
In 2024, Amcor PLC reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Amcor PLC reported 8,870,000 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 2024 disclosure of Amcor PLC includes a breakdown across 1 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, down from 2 in 2023, indicating a decline in reporting granularity and reduced insight into the company's full value chain emissions.a
In 2024, Amcor PLC reported total Scope 3 emissions of 8,870,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2020, Amcor PLC's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 10.82%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2023), Amcor PLC's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Amcor PLC's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
In 2024, Amcor PLC reported emissions for 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Amcor PLC's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Amcor PLC reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 430,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 13,640 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 31.52 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Amcor PLC reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 31.52 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 84.32, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Amcor PLC ranked 7 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Amcor PLC is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Amcor PLC reported a total carbon footprint of 19,828,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 74.62% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Amcor PLC's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 53.1% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 44.73%.a
