In 2019, total emissions were around 268,239,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 3,279,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 9,202,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 255,758,000 kg CO2e.

ASOS has established ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to be carbon neutral in its direct operations (offices, fulfilment centres, deliveries, and returns) by 2025. Furthermore, ASOS is committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions across its entire value chain by 2030.

In terms of specific reduction targets, ASOS has set a near-term goal to reduce its own-brand product emissions per pound of profit by 58% by 2030, using a 2018/19 baseline. They also aim to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions per order by 87% by 2030, relative to a 2018/19 baseline. For longer-term goals, ASOS has committed to reducing its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2050, based on a 2022 baseline, and a corresponding 90% reduction in Scope 3 emissions within the same timeframe. The company also aims to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050.
