Eaton's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Eaton reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 193,857,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 488,850,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and a staggering 58,449,862,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which account for the majority of their carbon footprint. Eaton has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, based on 2018 levels. They also target a 15% reduction in Scope 3 emissions within the same timeframe. As of 2023, Eaton has achieved a 27% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since 2018, positioning them on track to meet their science-based targets. The company is committed to achieving carbon neutrality across its operations by 2030 and aims for net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which has classified their near-term targets as consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Eaton's emissions data and climate commitments are sourced from their parent organization, Eaton Corporation plc, and reflect a comprehensive approach to sustainability within the electrical equipment and machinery sector.
