Insights into BASF's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, BASF has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
Does BASF have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, BASF has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
BASF's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 25% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 21,877,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018.
As of 2024, BASF is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 89.28% of the planned reduction.
BASF's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does BASF have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, BASF has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
BASF's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 15% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0.002 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Kilogram (kg) of Unspecified Material Purchased in 2022.
As of 2024, BASF is on track to meet its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 24.4% of the planned reduction.
