In 2019, the company's total emissions were approximately 319,868,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 154,507,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at around 151,259,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 14,102,000 kg CO2e. In 2018, total emissions were around 352,545,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of approximately 162,139,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 166,706,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 20,286,000 kg CO2e. Lastly, for 2017, Altria reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 337,007,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of about 5,264,365,000 kg CO2e.

Altria has set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. The company commits to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. Their near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 65% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. They also aim to increase active annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by 2030 from 0.34% in 2022. Furthermore, Altria commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. For long-term targets, Altria aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2022 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same timeframe. The target boundary for these commitments includes biogenic land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks. Additionally, Altria has a Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) target to reduce absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 30.3% by 2030 from a 2022 base year, and by 72% by 2050. The company is also committed to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by 2025. These targets are classified as consistent with a 1.5°C warming scenario.
