Ebay

eBay, an electronic shopping and mail-order house based in the US, reported its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for 2025. The company's total Scope 1 emissions were about 4,189,000 kg CO2e. Its Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 49,000 kg CO2e, while location-based Scope 2 emissions were significantly higher at about 125,871,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions, which include categories like downstream transportation and distribution (approximately 1,456,848,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 187,500,000 kg CO2e), amounted to roughly 1,759,167,000 kg CO2e.

Looking at previous years, eBay's total Scope 1 emissions were approximately 5,098,000 kg CO2e in 2024 and 6,070,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Scope 2 emissions in 2024 were about 146,000 kg CO2e, and in 2023 they were around 20,349,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were roughly 1,778,121,000 kg CO2e in 2024 and 1,728,679,000 kg CO2e in 2023. For 2019, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 27,156,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 36,731,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling roughly 2,396,254,000 kg CO2e.

eBay has committed to several ambitious climate targets. As part of its Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) approved net-zero target, the company aims to achieve a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 from a 2019 base year. Additionally, eBay commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from downstream transportation and distribution by 27.5% within the same timeframe (2019-2030). The company has also set a long-term goal to reach net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain by 2045, maintaining a minimum of 90% absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reductions from 2030 through 2045, and a 90% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2045, all from a 2019 base year. eBay also aims for 100% renewable energy by 2025 and currently maintains carbon neutrality for its Scope 1 and 2 emissions through means such as purchasing carbon offsets and investing in renewable energy projects.
