Bat

British American Tobacco (BAT), headquartered in GB, reports its most recent emissions data for 2024. The company's Scope 1 emissions were 237,000,000 kg CO2e, and its Scope 2 market-based emissions were 74,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions totalled 4,789,000,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (3,038,000,000 kg CO2e) and investments (694,000,000 kg CO2e).

BAT has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

Near-term targets include:

• A 50% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, from a 2020 base year.
• A 42% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 2030, from a 2020 base year.
• A 30.3% absolute reduction in Scope 3 Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) GHG emissions by 2030, from a 2020 base year.

For long-term targets by 2050, BAT commits to:

• A 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from a 2020 base year.
• A 90% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, end-of-life treatment of sold products, and investments from a 2020 base year.
• A 72% absolute reduction in Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions from a 2020 base year.

These targets are classified by the SBTi as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
