Akzonobel

AkzoNobel, a global paint and coating manufacturer headquartered in the Netherlands, reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 11.63 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This figure is comprised of approximately 54.66 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and approximately 97.51 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions (market-based). Scope 3 emissions, primarily from purchased goods and services and the end-of-life treatment of sold products, accounted for approximately 11.63 billion kg CO2e in the same year.

For 2024, AkzoNobel's total emissions were approximately 13.41 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 57.65 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 111.74 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were approximately 12.76 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions were approximately 13.94 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 59.20 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 120.40 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were approximately 13.12 billion kg CO2e.

AkzoNobel has set ambitious climate commitments, including a Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. Furthermore, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, processing of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 42% by 2030, also from a 2020 base year. These SBTi targets are in line with a 1.5°C warming scenario.

Additionally, AkzoNobel has stated aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. They also have a target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 30% from a 2020 baseline by 2030 and a 50% carbon emission reduction target for Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2030 (baseline 2018, absolute), which is also validated by the SBTi. The company is also working towards CO2-neutral production growth from 2019 to 2030.
