BlueScope's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments

BlueScope, headquartered in Australia and operating in the basic iron and steel industry, has reported its greenhouse gas emissions across various scopes. For the reporting year 2025, the company's total emissions, encompassing Scope 1, 2, and 3, are approximately 23 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions stand at approximately 8.5 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 1.7 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions are approximately 12.77 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (about 7.26 billion kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (around 2.03 billion kg CO2e).

The company has set ambitious climate targets, including a commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its operations by 2050. This overarching goal covers both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. In addition to this long-term objective, BlueScope has established near-term targets, such as a 12% reduction in GHG emissions intensity for its steelmaking activities by 2030, based on 2018 levels. The company has reported achieving this 12% reduction in aggregated steelmaking emission intensity against its FY2018 baseline, aligning with its 2030 target. Furthermore, there is a target for a 30% reduction in non-steelmaking intensity by 2030. Efforts are underway to support these goals, including the construction of a new Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) at Glenbrook, a significant step towards the 2050 net zero ambition.
