Corning's reported carbon emissions

Corning Incorporated, a US-based leader in the glass and glass products industry, has set ambitious climate commitments. For the most recent reporting year of 2025, Corning reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalling approximately 3.18 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, their Scope 1 and 2 emissions were around 3.74 billion kg CO2e, with significant Scope 3 emissions contributing an additional 4.88 billion kg CO2e. Their total emissions for 2024 were approximately 8.61 billion kg CO2e.

Corning has a clear roadmap for emissions reduction, with a near-term goal to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30% by 2028, using a 2021 baseline. This target is aligned with a 1.5°C future scenario and is approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Furthermore, Corning aims to reduce its absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 17.5% by 2028, again from a 2021 baseline. This Scope 3 reduction specifically covers purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, and upstream transportation and distribution, which represent a significant portion of their total Scope 3 footprint.
