Bayer

Bayer, a Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing company headquartered in Germany, reported total emissions of approximately 11.89 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1.89 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 900 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 9.10 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, their total emissions were around 11.78 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of roughly 1.88 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 1.08 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 8.82 billion kg CO2e. Looking further back, in 2019, Bayer's total emissions were approximately 14.10 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at roughly 2.08 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at around 1.68 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 10.34 billion kg CO2e.

Bayer has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. This long-term target includes a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions from a 2019 base year, with the remaining 10% to be offset through long-term carbon credits.

For near-term goals, Bayer commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2029 from a 2019 base year. Additionally, Bayer aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe, covering categories such as purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and business travel. The company also states a commitment to achieve climate neutrality at all its own sites (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030, with a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by the end of 2029 (relative to 2019) and offsetting the remaining emissions. Bayer also aims to enable its farming customers to reduce their on-field greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of crop produced by 30% by 2030. These targets were confirmed by the SBTi.
