Donaldson's reported carbon emissions
Donaldson, a US-based machinery and equipment manufacturer, has set ambitious climate commitments. For fiscal year 2025, the company reported approximately 24.61 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and about 65.42 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions, totalling approximately 90.03 million kg CO2e for Scopes 1 and 2. In fiscal year 2024, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 23.54 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 69.40 million kg CO2e, resulting in a combined total of approximately 92.94 million kg CO2e. Donaldson is committed to a significant reduction in its environmental impact. The company is targeting an absolute reduction of its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by the end of fiscal year 2030, using fiscal year 2021 as a baseline. This target applies across all scopes for the near term. The company has reported progress on this commitment, with data indicating it is on track for its two-year progress towards the Scope 2 reduction goal. While Donaldson has made strides in reporting Scopes 1 and 2 emissions, data for Scope 3 emissions, particularly for purchased goods and services, is still being developed or is unavailable. The company's reporting for previous years also focuses on Scope 1 and 2 emissions. For fiscal year 2023, combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 92.20 million kg CO2e. In fiscal year 2022, this figure was approximately 113.65 million kg CO2e, and in fiscal year 2021, it stood at approximately 113.42 million kg CO2e. Earlier reporting for fiscal year 2020 shows combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions of about 113.59 million kg CO2e, and for fiscal year 2019, approximately 121.86 million kg CO2e.
