For 2024, British American Tobacco (BAT) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5.06 billion kg CO2e. This comprised approximately 237 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 74 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based) emissions, alongside approximately 4.79 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

BAT has set ambitious climate targets, aiming for a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. Furthermore, the company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, with a focus on purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products. Looking further ahead, BAT has a long-term commitment to achieve Net Zero across its value chain by 2050.

These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which validates the company's commitment to emissions reductions consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. BAT is actively implementing strategies to achieve these goals, including increasing the use of green electricity and investing in on-site renewable energy generation and energy efficiency measures. For Scope 3 emissions, initiatives include decarbonising the agricultural supply chain, exploring lower-carbon raw materials, improving product energy efficiency, and applying eco-design principles for end-of-life product management.
