Insights into Eaton's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2023, Eaton 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 Eaton have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2023, Eaton has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Eaton's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 985,552 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018.
As of 2023, Eaton is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 62% of the planned reduction.
Eaton's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Eaton have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2023, Eaton has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 10 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Eaton's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 15% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 78,233,425 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018.
Eaton has already surpassed its value chain emissions reduction target, with 2023 levels falling below the 2030 value, achieving its climate goal ahead of schedule.
