Bupa has set ambitious climate commitments, including:

• Near-term targets:
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by at least 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline.
  • Achieve an interim reduction target of 40% in Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) GHG emissions by the end of 2025, from a 2019 baseline.
  • Become a net-zero business in Scope 1 and 2 by 2030.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by at least 63% by 2034 from a 2019 baseline, covering categories such as purchased goods and services, insurance underwriting, business travel, and downstream transportation and distribution.
• Long-term target: Become a net-zero business across all scopes by 2040.

Bupa's near-term Scope 1 and 2 targets are classified as being consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
