Bird & Bird's total carbon emissions for 2025 were approximately 25,455 metric tonnes CO2e. This includes about 512 metric tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 1,753 metric tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based) emissions, and roughly 23,190 metric tonnes CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In the prior year, 2024, the total emissions were approximately 25,189 metric tonnes CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 576 metric tonnes CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 1,921 metric tonnes CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 22,692 metric tonnes CO2e.

Bird & Bird has set several ambitious climate commitments. The company has a net-zero target, committing to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by FY2040. This commitment includes both near-term and long-term reduction goals, which have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

For near-term targets, Bird & Bird aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 55.0% by FY2032, using FY2023 as a baseline. Additionally, the firm commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50.4% within the same timeframe.

For long-term targets, the company plans to achieve a 90.0% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2040 from a FY2023 base year. Concurrently, Bird & Bird also commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90.0% within the same long-term timeframe. These targets reflect a commitment to significant decarbonisation across its operations and value chain.
