Berry Global's reported carbon emissions

Berry Global, a leading US-based manufacturer in Plastics Packaging Film and Sheet, is committed to reducing its environmental impact. In 2024, the company reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 10.4 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2 (market-based at 1.47 billion kg CO2e and location-based at 1.61 billion kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for the largest portion at approximately 8.6 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, Berry Global's total emissions were approximately 10.3 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 145.8 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at 1.57 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 8.63 billion kg CO2e. Berry Global has established ambitious climate targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2025, using a 2019 baseline. This target is validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and aligns with a 1.5-degree Celsius warming scenario. The company also aims to reduce its absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 25.2% within the same timeframe. Furthermore, Berry Global is working towards achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 across its global operations and value chain. While specific emissions data for 2022 indicates a total of approximately 11.4 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 141.8 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: 1.66 billion kg CO2e, Scope 3: 9.88 billion kg CO2e), the company's commitment to reduction remains a core focus. Previous years' data also shows significant emission footprints, with 2021 reporting approximately 12.0 billion kg CO2e and 2020 around 10.6 billion kg CO2e. Berry Global's climate commitments are cascaded from its ultimate parent company, Berry Global Group, Inc. This corporate family relationship ensures a unified approach to sustainability targets.
