BCG's reported carbon emissions

## BCG Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments Boston Consulting Group (BCG), headquartered in the US and operating in the Other Management Consulting Services industry, has established ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero climate impact by 2030 and subsequently becoming climate positive. ### Emissions Data BCG reported the following global emissions data: * **2025:** Approximately 371,400,000 kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 (approximately 1,700,000 kg CO2e), Scope 2 (market-based: approximately 700,000 kg CO2e; location-based: approximately 16,400,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (approximately 369,000,000 kg CO2e). Key Scope 3 categories include business travel (approximately 285,400,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 44,800,000 kg CO2e). * **2024:** Approximately 435,800,000 kg CO2e. This comprised Scope 1 (approximately 2,000,000 kg CO2e), Scope 2 (market-based: approximately 500,000 kg CO2e; location-based: approximately 16,700,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (approximately 433,300,000 kg CO2e). Business travel was the largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions at approximately 332,200,000 kg CO2e. * **2023:** Approximately 424,800,000 kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 (approximately 2,700,000 kg CO2e) and Scope 3 (approximately 422,100,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 data was not provided for this year, though location-based emissions were approximately 18,200,000 kg CO2e. * **2022:** Approximately 406,000,000 kg CO2e, primarily comprising Scope 1 (approximately 3,000,000 kg CO2e) and Scope 3 (approximately 403,000,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 data was not available. * **2021:** Approximately 153,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 3,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 at approximately 150,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 data was not available. * **2020:** Approximately 178,000,000 kg CO2e, including Scope 1 (approximately 4,000,000 kg CO2e) and Scope 3 (approximately 174,000,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 data was not available. * **2019:** Approximately 571,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 5,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 at approximately 566,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 data was not available. * **2018:** Approximately 584,100,000 kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 (approximately 5,600,000 kg CO2e), Scope 2 (market-based: approximately 25,000,000 kg CO2e; location-based: approximately 28,600,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (approximately 553,400,000 kg CO2e). ### Climate Commitments and Targets BCG has set Science Based Targets (SBTi)-validated goals: * **Net-Zero by 2030:** A commitment to achieve net-zero climate impact by 2030 and become climate positive thereafter. This target encompasses all scopes. * **Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Credits:** Transitioning their carbon credit portfolio to 100% CDR credits by 2030. * **Scope 1 & 2 Emissions Reduction:** * A target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 92% per full-time equivalent (FTE) employee by 2025, against a 2018 baseline. * An absolute reduction target of 84.5% for Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2025 from a 2018 base year. * A long-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2018 base year. * **Scope 3 Emissions Reduction:** * Commitment to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel by 48.5% per FTE by 2025 from a 2018 base year. * A commitment to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and business travel by 97% per FTE by 2050 from a 2018 base year. * A near-term target to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel by 58.1% per FTE by 2030 from a 2018 base year.
