Berkeley's reported carbon emissions

Berkeley's carbon emissions reporting shows a significant reduction in its overall greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint. For the reporting year 2025, the company reported total emissions of approximately 502.7 million kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. More specifically, in 2025, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 582,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions, using the market-based approach, amounted to approximately 314,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for the same period were substantially higher, at approximately 501.8 million kg CO2e. Location-based Scope 2 emissions were approximately 4.4 million kg CO2e in 2025. Looking at previous years, total emissions in 2024 were around 520 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 609,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at about 308,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 519 million kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions were about 526 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 713,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at 250,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 574.7 million kg CO2e. Berkeley has established ambitious climate commitments, including a long-term goal to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2045. This commitment is underpinned by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets. These include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2045 from a FY2019 base year. Additionally, Berkeley aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same timeframe. Near-term targets are also in place, with a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 86% by FY2034 from a FY2019 base year. Correspondingly, Scope 3 GHG emissions are targeted for a 63% reduction within this same near-term timeframe. Berkeley also aims to reduce the in-use energy of its homes by 40% by 2030, based on a 2019 baseline. These targets are aligned with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.
