Siemens's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Siemens reported total carbon emissions of approximately 74,964,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 8,345,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 32,186,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 74,834,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, Siemens has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. The company has established significant near-term targets, including a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2019 baseline. Additionally, Siemens aims to achieve a 30% reduction in Scope 3 emissions within the same timeframe. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Siemens's commitment to sustainability is further underscored by its participation in the Climate Pledge, which it signed in September 2020, reinforcing its dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a sustainable future.
