Borussia has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims for carbon neutrality (market-based) for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2040. Furthermore, Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co.KGaA, according to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by fiscal year (FY) 2045.

Near-term SBTi targets include a 50% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2030 from a FY2024 base year, and a 15% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. Long-term SBTi targets commit to a 100% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2040 from a FY2024 base year, and a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions by FY2045 from a FY2024 base year. The targets covering Scope 1 and 2 are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.

Previously, between 2014 and 2019, Borussia successfully reduced its Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 81,365 tonnes, equivalent to one tonne per seat.
