Insights into Ecolab's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Ecolab 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 Ecolab have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Ecolab has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Ecolab's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2050, compared to a baseline of 510,585 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018.
As of 2024, Ecolab is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 36.92% of the planned reduction.
Ecolab's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Ecolab have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Ecolab 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.
Ecolab's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2050, compared to a baseline of 7,899,572 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2022.
As of 2024, Ecolab is lagging behind on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 1.46% of the planned reduction.
