As of 2025, Bureau Veritas 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.a
As of 2025, Bureau Veritas has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.a
Bureau Veritas's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 42% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 159,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.a
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Bureau Veritas has increased them, with 2025 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.a
As of 2025, Bureau Veritas 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.a
Bureau Veritas's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 25% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 509,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.a
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Bureau Veritas has increased them, with 2025 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.a
