BASF SE

BASF SE, headquartered in Germany and operating in the Chemicals nec industry, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 113.69 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes Scope 1 emissions of around 15.115 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 2.008 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 96.52 billion kg CO2e. A significant portion of Scope 3 emissions came from purchased goods and services, accounting for roughly 54.39 billion kg CO2e, and end-of-life treatment of sold products, at about 27.79 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, BASF SE's total carbon emissions were approximately 112.27 billion kg CO2e in 2024, with Scope 1 emissions at about 15.22 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions at around 2.416 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 94.59 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the company reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined as approximately 17 billion kg CO2e, and in 2018, combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were around 21.9 billion kg CO2e.

BASF SE is committed to reducing its environmental impact. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 for its Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3.1 (raw materials purchase) emissions. In the near term, BASF SE plans to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2030, compared to a 2018 baseline. This translates to a reduction from 21.9 million metric tons to 16.4 million metric tons, despite growth plans. Furthermore, BASF SE intends to reduce its specific Scope 3.1 (raw materials-related) emissions by 15% by 2030, from a 2022 baseline, aiming to decrease from 1.64 kg CO2 per kg of raw materials purchased in 2022 to 1.39 kg in 2030. The company also set a target to achieve CO2-neutral growth by 2030.
