BD, a US-headquartered company in the Medical, precision and optical instruments, watches and clocks industry, reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 178,772,000 kg CO2e in 2025. In 2024, its Scope 1 emissions were about 181,949,000 kg CO2e, and in 2023, they were around 168,954,000 kg CO2e. For 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 163,417,000 kg CO2e, and in 2021, they reached about 164,448,000 kg CO2e.

Looking further back, in 2020, BD reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 152,147,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of about 285,960,000 kg CO2e, leading to combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 438,107,000 kg CO2e. In 2019, Scope 1 emissions were around 160,568,000 kg CO2e.

In 2018, BD's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 134,615,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were about 200,666,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled around 2,058,989,000 kg CO2e. This included significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 1,065,132,000 kg CO2e), use of sold products (about 326,682,000 kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 280,636,000 kg CO2e).

BD has set several ambitious climate commitments. It aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by fiscal year 2050. As part of its near-term targets, the company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. Furthermore, BD targets that 75% of its suppliers and customers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products, will have science-based targets by 2028. For long-term goals, BD commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2019 base year and reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions by 97% per unit of sold product by 2050 from a 2021 base year. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with a 1.5°C global emissions reduction pathway.
