Diageo, a prominent player in the beverages industry headquartered in GB, is actively engaged in reducing its carbon footprint. In 2025, the company reported a total of approximately 5.55 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1 emissions of approximately 306 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 4 million kg CO2e (market-based), and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 5.22 billion kg CO2e. Among the Scope 3 categories, purchased goods and services contributed the most significantly, accounting for approximately 3.72 billion kg CO2e, followed by upstream transportation and distribution at approximately 695 million kg CO2e.

Diageo has set ambitious climate commitments, including a goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across its entire business and value chain by 2050. Near-term targets are in place to support this long-term vision. Specifically, the company aims for a 95% reduction in its direct operations (Scopes 1 and 2) emissions by 2030, based on a 2020 baseline. Further, Diageo has committed to a 50% reduction in its Scope 3 value chain emissions by 2030. In line with these goals, Diageo aims to use 100% renewable energy across all its direct operations.

The company's commitment to these targets is further evidenced by its Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validation. Diageo has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 100% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year. Additionally, it aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% within the same timeframe. Diageo also aims to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 66% in FY2020 to 100% by FY2030. For the longer term, Diageo has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2040 from a FY2022 base year and maintaining this reduction through FY2050. The company also commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2050 from a FY2022 base year.
