Insights into Corning's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2023, Corning 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 Corning have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2023, Corning has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Corning's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 30% by 2028, compared to a baseline of 3,317,212 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Corning has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
Corning's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Corning have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2023, Corning has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 4 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Corning's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 17.5% by 2028, compared to a baseline of 4,578,489 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Corning has increased them, with 2021 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
