Clariant's reported carbon emissions

Clariant, a chemical and fertilizer minerals, salt and other mining and quarrying products company headquartered in Switzerland, is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. **Emissions Overview:** In 2025, Clariant reported total global emissions of approximately 4.75 billion kg CO2e. This comprised: * **Scope 1:** Approximately 250 million kg CO2e, with stationary combustion accounting for the largest portion (around 204 million kg CO2e). * **Scope 2:** Approximately 190 million kg CO2e (market-based), with purchased electricity contributing around 60 million kg CO2e and purchased steam around 125 million kg CO2e. * **Scope 3:** Approximately 4.31 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services (approximately 2.41 billion kg CO2e) and the end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 1.32 billion kg CO2e) being the most significant categories. In the preceding year, 2024, total emissions were approximately 5.2 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 270 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 220 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were approximately 4.72 billion kg CO2e. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** Clariant has established ambitious climate goals, including: * A long-term commitment to achieve **net-zero emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 2050**. * Science-based targets (SBTs) approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). * A commitment to reduce **absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 40% by 2030** from a 2019 base year. * A commitment to reduce **absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 14% by 2030** from a 2019 base year. * An additional SBTi-aligned target to reduce **absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 27.5% by 2030** from a 2019 base year, aligning with a 1.5°C pathway. The company also previously set near-term targets, aiming to reduce direct carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 30% per ton of produced goods and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 35% between 2013 and 2025. In addition, Clariant has set sustainable operations targets for the 2019-2030 period, measured by impact per ton of production, including reductions in wastewater generation and landfilled nonhazardous waste. Clariant's disclosures indicate that their near-term targets are generally on track, reflecting ongoing efforts to decarbonise their operations and value chain.
