Danaher Corporation

Danaher Corporation, a US-based analytical laboratory instrument manufacturer, reported its latest carbon emissions data for 2025. In 2025, Danaher's Scope 1 emissions were 136,830,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 market-based emissions were 86,673,000 kg CO2e. The company did not disclose Scope 3 emissions for 2025.

For 2024, Danaher reported total Scope 1 emissions of 112,038,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of 107,368,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 3,504,063,000 kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 categories included purchased goods and services (1,652,261,000 kg CO2e), use of sold products (853,276,000 kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (436,972,000 kg CO2e).

Danaher Corporation has set ambitious climate commitments, with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets. The company commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

Near-term targets include:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 54.6% by 2032, compared to a 2021 base year.
• Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and use of sold products by 31.73% by 2035, from a 2024 base year.
• Ensuring that 40% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution, will have science-based targets by 2030.

Long-term targets include:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, from a 2021 base year.
• Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, from a 2024 base year.

These targets align with the climate science goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
