AkzoNobel has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), consistent with a 1.5°C scenario. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by financial year 2030, from a 2020 base year. Additionally, AkzoNobel commits to reducing 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.

The company also has specific targets to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. Furthermore, AkzoNobel is working towards a 50% carbon emission reduction for Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2030, against a 2018 baseline. For Scope 3, a 50% carbon emission reduction by 2030 is also targeted, using a 2018 baseline. As of 2022, AkzoNobel had achieved a 6% carbon emissions reduction in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) since 2018.
