Deutsche Bahn (DE) is committed to reducing its environmental impact through ambitious climate targets, aiming for climate neutrality by 2040 and net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by the same year. The company has set a near-term goal to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 63% by 2034, compared to 2019 levels. Furthermore, it aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040. Scope 3 emissions are also a focus, with targets including a 40% reduction in fuel- and energy-related activities and a 63% reduction in emissions from the use of sold products for sold fossil fuels by 2034.

In terms of recent performance, Deutsche Bahn reported a total of approximately 11.1 billion kg CO2e for 2025. This breaks down into approximately 1.2 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and approximately 2.1 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions (market-based). Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 7.8 billion kg CO2e in the same year. In 2024, total emissions were approximately 10.1 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 1.1 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 2.7 billion kg CO2e (market-based).
