Insights into Nucor's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Nucor has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover only its total carbon footprint, without separate targets for operational (Scope 1 and 2) or value chain (Scope 3) emissions. This limits the ability to track progress across distinct emissions categories.a
Does Nucor have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Nucor has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.a
Nucor's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 1.091 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Metric Tonne (mt) of Steel Produced/Manufactured in 2023, by 89.37% by 2050.a
As of 2024, Nucor is ahead of schedule on its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 5.34% of the planned reduction.a
