Croda

Croda, a UK-based chemicals company, reported total emissions of approximately 1.45 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This included 100.39 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 16.03 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 1.33 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Croda has set several ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

For near-term targets, Croda is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. Additionally, Croda aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe, which includes both upstream and downstream emissions. The company also specifically targets a 30.3% reduction in absolute Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2022 base year. These near-term targets are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C and have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Looking at long-term targets towards its net-zero ambition, Croda commits to a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2022 base year. Concurrently, it aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% and Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 72% within the same 2022 to 2050 timeframe.
