Insights into Societe Generale's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2025, Societe Generale has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its value chain emissions (Scope 3), without dedicated targets for its operational emissions. This indicates a focus on upstream and downstream climate impacts rather than internal operations.
Does Societe Generale have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2025, Societe Generale 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.
Societe Generale's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 70% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 29,600,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019.
As of 2024, Societe Generale is ahead of schedule on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 92.19% of the planned reduction.
