Balfour

Balfour Beatty, a UK-based engineering services company, reported approximately 4.53 billion kg CO2e in total emissions for the 2025 reporting year. This includes approximately 132.02 million kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions, approximately 8.36 million kg CO2e of Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and approximately 3.99 billion kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions. For the 2024 reporting year, total emissions were approximately 5.98 billion kg CO2e, comprising approximately 130.88 million kg CO2e of Scope 1, 12.83 million kg CO2e of Scope 2 (market-based), and 5.70 billion kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions.

Balfour Beatty has set ambitious climate commitments, including a target for a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 2030, against a 2020 baseline. The company is also committed to achieving net zero Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 2045 and net zero across all scopes (1, 2, and 3) by 2050. Furthermore, they aim for a 25% reduction in Scope 3 purchased goods and services emissions by 2030, also from a 2020 baseline. Their Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments align with a 1.5°C warming scenario, with a long-term goal of reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same timeframe.
