Baker Hughes's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Baker Hughes reported total carbon emissions of approximately 574,513,000 kg CO2e, comprising 383,096,100 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 191,417,100 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 433,728,176,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting across all three scopes. Over the years, Baker Hughes has demonstrated a trend of reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with figures decreasing from 516,000,000 kg CO2e in 2012 to 383,096,100 kg CO2e in 2023 for Scope 1, and from 445,000,000 kg CO2e in 2012 to 191,417,100 kg CO2e in 2023 for Scope 2. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a need for further strategic planning in this area. Baker Hughes's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of their carbon footprint. The company has yet to announce any formal climate pledges or science-based targets for emissions reduction, suggesting an opportunity for enhanced climate action and commitment to sustainability in the future.
