Avantor

Avantor's reported carbon emissions

Avantor, a leading entity in the Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing industry based in the US, reported a significant total of approximately 2.95 trillion kg CO2e in emissions for the year 2025. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 36.89 trillion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 31.18 trillion kg CO2e (market-based), and a substantial Scope 3 footprint of roughly 2.59 quadrillion kg CO2e. For the year 2024, Avantor reported a total of approximately 4.83 billion kg CO2e. This breaks down into Scope 1 emissions of about 39.50 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 35.00 million kg CO2e (market-based). Their Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were approximately 4.76 billion kg CO2e. Avantor has established climate commitments, including a target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. This target is recognised as consistent with the reductions needed to limit warming to 1.5°C. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 25% within the same timeframe, and specifically, emissions from the use of sold products for sold fossil fuels by 42%. They also previously announced a target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 15% by 2025 from a 2019 baseline.
