Insights into Beiersdorf's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Beiersdorf 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 Beiersdorf have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Beiersdorf has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Beiersdorf's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2045, compared to a baseline of 140,022 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018.
As of 2024, Beiersdorf is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 51.93% of the planned reduction.
Beiersdorf's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Beiersdorf have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Beiersdorf has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 3 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Beiersdorf's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 10% by 2025, compared to a baseline of 1,889,077 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018.
Beiersdorf has already surpassed its value chain emissions reduction target, with 2024 levels falling below the 2025 value, achieving its climate goal ahead of schedule.
Beiersdorf's Value Chain (Scope 3) Emissions Pathway
Does Beiersdorf have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Beiersdorf has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
Beiersdorf's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 1,566,707 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018, by 30% by 2025.
As of 2024, Beiersdorf is on track to meet its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 84.37% of the planned reduction.
