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 represents a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which includes emissions from the use of sold products and upstream and downstream transportation. Over the years, Baker Hughes has shown a trend of fluctuating emissions. For instance, in 2012, the company emitted about 516,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 445,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. By 2019, these figures had changed to approximately 501,791,100 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 299,296,100 kg CO2e for Scope 2, indicating some progress in reducing direct emissions. Despite these figures, Baker Hughes has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for clearer commitments to address their carbon footprint effectively. Overall, while Baker Hughes has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of concrete reduction initiatives highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
