Barco has set ambitious climate commitments, with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved goals. The company commits to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. Near-term targets include a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2024 base year. Additionally, Barco aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe, covering categories such as fuel- and energy-related activities, transportation, waste, business travel, employee commuting, and use of sold products. Barco also plans for 30% of its suppliers (by emissions, covering purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution) to have science-based targets by 2030. Long-term targets include a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2024 base year.

Previously, Barco had committed to a 45% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2025 from a 2015 base year, as validated by SBTi. The company has also publicly stated a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations by 35% (versus 2015) by 2023 for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3.
