BAT has committed to ambitious climate action, with targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to achieve Net Zero across its value chain by 2050.

In 2024, BAT's reported Scope 1 emissions were approximately 237,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were around 74,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled about 4,789,000,000 kg CO2e.

BAT has set near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030, from a 2020 base year. Additionally, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 42% within the same timeframe. BAT also commits that 20% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by 2025. Further, BAT targets a 30.3% reduction in absolute Scope 3 Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2020 base year, and pledges no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 2025.

For its long-term goals, BAT commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2020 base year. The company also aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, end-of-life treatment of sold products, and investments within the same timeframe. Furthermore, BAT commits to a 72% reduction in absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2020 base year.
