Cabot's reported carbon emissions

Cabot Corporation, a leading chemicals company headquartered in the US, has outlined its climate commitments and emissions data. For its reporting year 2025, Cabot Corporation reported total emissions of approximately 93.1 billion kg CO2e. This total is comprised of approximately 3.6 billion kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions, around 190 million kg CO2e of Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and approximately 5.34 billion kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions. In prior years, Cabot Corporation reported substantial emissions. In 2024, total emissions were approximately 9.67 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at roughly 3.82 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 270 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 5.76 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions amounted to approximately 9.48 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 3.7 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at around 300 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 5.78 billion kg CO2e. Cabot Corporation has established several reduction targets. They aim to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 30% from 2015 levels by 2025. Furthermore, they are committed to reducing both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 30% from a 2020 baseline by 2030. In addition, the company has a near-term goal to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. Cabot also tracks progress on reducing NOX emissions intensity, with a goal of a 20% reduction by 2025 from 2012 levels, and SO2 emissions intensity, with a target of a 40% reduction by 2025 from 2012 levels. It is important to note that while Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data has been consistently reported, Scope 3 emissions data has not been fully disclosed for all years, with "purchased goods and services" often being a missing data point in earlier reports.
