In 2024, Stryker reported 1,822,092 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 2024 disclosure of Stryker includes a breakdown across 4 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 0 in 2023, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2024, Stryker reported total Scope 3 emissions of 1,822,092 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 88.49% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 11.51% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Stryker's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 23.78%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ad
In 2024, Stryker reported emissions for 4 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Stryker's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Stryker reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 66,449 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 22,595 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 2.94 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Stryker reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 2.94 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 2.65, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Stryker ranked 13 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Stryker is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Stryker reported a total carbon footprint of 2,006,013 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 917.08% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Stryker's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 90.83% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 5.86%.a
