In 2023, Dover Corporation reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 34,450 kg CO2e, comprising 9,510 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 20,336 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 13,604 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting, with all three scopes disclosed. Dover has set ambitious climate targets, aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. This commitment is part of their science-based targets initiative (SBTi) and is consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to well below 2°C. Additionally, Dover aims to reduce its Scope 3 emissions by 15% within the same timeframe. The company's emissions data and reduction targets are not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that these figures and commitments are independently reported by Dover Corporation. This proactive approach underscores Dover's dedication to sustainability and climate responsibility within the electrical equipment and machinery sector.
