Adidas has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims for climate neutrality across its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2025. Looking further ahead, Adidas commits to reducing absolute GHG emissions across its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 70% by 2030, against a 2022 baseline. Concurrently, the company aims to reduce absolute GHG emissions across its entire value chain (Scope 3) by 42% by 2030, also against a 2022 baseline. A long-term goal is to achieve net-zero GHG emissions for the entire value chain by 2050.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated Adidas's commitments. They aim to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 30% by 2030 from a 2017 base year. As part of this, Adidas has a near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2025, also from a 2017 base year.
Adidas has also set long-term SBTi-aligned targets, committing to a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050, and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe, both measured against a 2022 baseline.
