Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Givaudan decreased by 1.72%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Givaudan were 130,642 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Givaudan's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 26.66%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ad
Compared to the previous year (2024), Givaudan's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 1.59%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2025, Givaudan reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 6,539 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Givaudan's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Givaudan's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Givaudan reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2025, Givaudan reported 4,024,952 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 Givaudan includes a breakdown across 8 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, Givaudan reported total Scope 3 emissions of 4,024,952 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Givaudan's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 120.19%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ad
Compared to the previous year (2024), Givaudan's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Givaudan's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, Givaudan reported emissions for 8 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Givaudan's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Givaudan reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 130,642 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 9,431 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 13.85 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Givaudan reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 13.85 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 54.77, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Givaudan ranked 6 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Givaudan is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Givaudan reported a total carbon footprint of 4,162,133 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 0.62% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Givaudan's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 96.7% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 3.14%.a
