The company is also committed to achieving carbon neutrality across its operations by 2030, with long-term goals of reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% and Scope 3 emissions by 90% by 2050. These targets align with the 1.5°C climate scenario, demonstrating Eaton's commitment to sustainable practices and climate responsibility. Eaton's emissions data and reduction targets are sourced from its own reporting and are not cascaded from any parent organization. The company actively participates in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure its goals are aligned with global climate efforts.
