Brenntag

Brenntag's carbon emissions and climate commitments are detailed through their latest reporting. For the fiscal year 2025, the company reported total emissions of approximately 24.2 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of Scope 1 emissions amounting to about 176.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 5.5 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling around 24.1 billion kg CO2e. The majority of Scope 3 emissions stem from purchased goods and services, reported at approximately 20.3 billion kg CO2e, followed by the use of sold products at about 1.1 billion kg CO2e, and end-of-life treatment of sold products at approximately 1.6 billion kg CO2e.

Brenntag has established several climate targets. The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 58.8% by 2034, using 2023 as a base year. Furthermore, Brenntag has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 35% by 2034 and by 90% by 2050, also from a 2023 base year. Looking further ahead, Brenntag has set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. A significant near-term commitment includes procuring 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025. The company's Scope 1 and 2 targets are aligned with the reductions needed to keep global warming to 1.5°C.
