Insights into Bayer's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Bayer 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 Bayer have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Bayer has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Bayer's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 42% by 2029, compared to a baseline of 3,790,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019.
As of 2024, Bayer is on track to meet its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 50.71% of the planned reduction.
Bayer's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Bayer have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Bayer has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 5 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Bayer's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 12.3% by 2029, compared to a baseline of 8,820,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019.
Bayer has already surpassed its value chain emissions reduction target, with 2024 levels falling below the 2029 value, achieving its climate goal ahead of schedule.
Bayer's Value Chain (Scope 3) Emissions Pathway
Does Bayer have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Bayer has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
Bayer's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 13,780,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019, by 90% by 2050.
As of 2024, Bayer is ahead of schedule on its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 19.67% of the planned reduction.
