Emerson Electric's reported carbon emissions

Emerson Electric's latest disclosed emissions data for 2024 shows total emissions of approximately 6.38 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 65.0 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 125.0 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling around 6.19 billion kg CO2e. For the preceding year, 2023, total emissions were approximately 7.53 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at around 71.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at approximately 147.9 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 7.32 billion kg CO2e. Emerson Electric has established ambitious climate targets. The company aims for net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 by 2045, compared to a 2021 baseline. In the near term, Emerson is committed to achieving a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, also from a 2021 baseline. Furthermore, they aim for a 25% absolute reduction in Scope 3 emissions within the same timeframe. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with validation confirming their consistency with limiting warming to 1.5°C. Emerson is also pursuing a goal to source 100% renewable electricity across its operations by 2030.
