In 2025, Cencora completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, Cencora has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Cencora amounted to 273,112 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 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Cencora increased by 22.04%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.ab
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Cencora were 189,955 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Cencora's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 27.89%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Cencora's Scope 1 emissions increased by 40.62%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.ab
In 2025, Cencora reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 79,881 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 83,157 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, Cencora's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have decreased by 23.04%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Cencora's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Cencora's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.ab
In 2025, Cencora reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Cencora reported 46,143,672 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 2025 disclosure of Cencora includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Cencora reported total Scope 3 emissions of 46,143,672 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Cencora's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 132.09%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Cencora's Scope 3 emissions increased by 13.92%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.ab
In 2025, Cencora reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 189,955 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 321,358 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.59 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Cencora reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.59 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.76, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Cencora ranked 9 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Cencora is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Cencora reported a total carbon footprint of 46,416,784 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 13.97% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Cencora's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.41% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 0.41%.a
