Corning

Corning Inc., a US-based leader in the glass and glass products industry, has established clear climate commitments and reports on its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For 2025, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 741.1 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 2.44 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, its Scope 1 emissions were approximately 669.3 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 market-based emissions totalling approximately 3.07 billion kg CO2e.

Corning has set ambitious targets to reduce its environmental impact. It aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2028, using 2021 as a baseline. This target is aligned with a 1.5°C future scenario. Furthermore, the company is committed to reducing its absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 17.5% by 2028, also from a 2021 baseline. This Scope 3 reduction covers key categories including purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy-related activities, and upstream transportation and distribution. These targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), demonstrating Corning's dedication to science-aligned climate action.
