The company has established ambitious targets to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across its value chain. **Emissions Data:** * **2025:** Diageo reported total emissions of approximately 5.53 billion kg CO2e. This comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 306 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 4 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 5.22 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (about 3.72 billion kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 695 million kg CO2e). * **2024:** Scope 1 emissions were reported at about 323 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 4 million kg CO2e (market-based). Full Scope 3 data for this year is not available in the provided dataset. * **2023:** Diageo's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 359 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 5 million kg CO2e (market-based). Comprehensive Scope 3 data was not reported. * **2022:** Scope 1 emissions totalled approximately 375 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 6 million kg CO2e (market-based). Full Scope 3 data was not reported for this year. * **2021:** Diageo reported combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 445 million kg CO2e. * **2020:** Scope 1 emissions were approximately 444 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 26 million kg CO2e (market-based). The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 470 million kg CO2e. * **2019:** Market-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 508 million kg CO2e. * **2018:** Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled about 570 million kg CO2e. * **2017:** Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 593 million kg CO2e. * **2016:** Scope 1 emissions were about 593 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 79 million kg CO2e (market-based). * **2015:** Scope 1 emissions were around 698 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 73 million kg CO2e (market-based). * **2014:** Scope 1 emissions were approximately 739 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were about 84 million kg CO2e (market-based). * **2013:** Scope 1 emissions were approximately 730 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 110 million kg CO2e (market-based). * **2012:** Scope 1 emissions were about 637 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 98 million kg CO2e. * **2011:** Scope 1 emissions were around 683 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 116 million kg CO2e. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were about 799 million kg CO2e. * **2010:** Scope 1 emissions were approximately 675 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 158 million kg CO2e. * **2007:** Scope 1 emissions were approximately 845 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were about 171 million kg CO2e (market-based). The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 1.02 billion kg CO2e. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** Diageo is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions across its entire business and value chain by 2050, or sooner. This commitment includes: * **Net-Zero Direct Operations (Scopes 1 & 2):** Diageo aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions in its direct operations by 2030. This aligns with SBTi-approved near-term targets to reduce emissions by more than 95% from a 2020 baseline. Some reports indicate a target of 100% reduction by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year for Scopes 1 and 2, with a long-term goal of 90% reduction by FY2040 from a FY2022 base year for Scopes 1 and 2. * **Value Chain Emissions Reduction (Scope 3):** Diageo has set an interim milestone to achieve a 50% reduction in its supply chain (Scope 3) emissions by 2030. This is a significant focus as supply chain emissions are the largest component of its carbon footprint. Targets include a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by FY2030 from a FY2022 base year and a 25% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by FY2030 from a FY2022 base year (downstream categories). Long-term Scope 3 reduction targets include 90% by FY2050 from a FY2022 base year. * **Renewable Electricity:** Diageo is committed to increasing its sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by FY2030. The company's climate strategy involves partnering with suppliers, focusing on renewable energy solutions, innovative design, and regenerative agriculture to drive emissions reductions throughout its "grain to glass" value chain. Diageo's targets have been calculated in accordance with the principles of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and have been approved as meeting a 1.5°C mitigation pathway.
