Eaton, an electrical machinery and apparatus company headquartered in Ireland, has set ambitious climate commitments and reported its carbon emissions. For 2024, Eaton's total reported emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) were approximately 52.2 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 183.8 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 451.9 million kg CO2e. The company's Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were approximately 51.6 billion kg CO2e, though specific upstream data points like purchased goods and services were noted as missing.

In 2023, Eaton reported total emissions of approximately 59.1 billion kg CO2e, comprising 193.9 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 488.9 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). Scope 3 emissions for that year were approximately 58.4 billion kg CO2e.

Eaton is committed to significant emissions reductions, aligning with science-based targets. The company aims for a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, using 2018 as a baseline year. Furthermore, Eaton has set a target to reduce its Scope 3 GHG emissions by 15% by 2030, also from a 2018 baseline. The company also aims for carbon-neutral operations by 2030 and has a long-term goal to reach net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050. Reporting indicates that Eaton is on track for some of its near-term targets.
