In 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Globe Life amounted to 7,090 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 Globe Life increased by 4.56%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Globe Life were 1,707 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Globe Life's Scope 1 emissions increased by 17%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2025, Globe Life reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 6,112 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 5,383 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, Globe Life's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have decreased by 22.03%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Globe Life's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Globe Life's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Globe Life reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Globe Life reported 23,178 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 Globe Life includes a breakdown across 5 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, Globe Life reported total Scope 3 emissions of 23,178 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 81.56% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 18.44% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Globe Life's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 1,510.7%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Globe Life's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 39.25%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2025, Globe Life reported emissions for 5 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 Globe Life's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Globe Life reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,707 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 5,994 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.28 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Globe Life reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.28 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.19, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Globe Life ranked 15 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Globe Life is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Globe Life reported a total carbon footprint of 30,268 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 32.64% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Globe Life's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 76.58% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 17.78%.a
