Estee Lauder's reported carbon emissions

## Estée Lauder's Climate Commitments and Emissions Performance Estée Lauder, a US-based leader in the Toilet Preparation Manufacturing industry, is actively engaged in reducing its environmental impact through ambitious climate commitments. The company has set a clear target to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2018 as its baseline year. This commitment is further supported by a target to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and business travel by 60% per unit revenue by 2030, also from a 2018 baseline. These targets are recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. In terms of emissions data, for the reporting year 2025, Estée Lauder reported total GHG emissions of approximately 1.62 billion kg CO2e. This comprised approximately 36.9 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 62.3 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions (location-based), and approximately 1.52 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The largest contributors to its Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were purchased goods and services (approximately 728.1 million kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 414.1 million kg CO2e). For the reporting year 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 1.73 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 36.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions approximately 63.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions approximately 1.66 billion kg CO2e. Looking at earlier data, in 2023, Estée Lauder's total emissions were approximately 2.08 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 29.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 60.2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 1.99 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 2.41 billion kg CO2e, including approximately 27.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 54.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and approximately 2.33 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. In 2021, total emissions were approximately 1.99 billion kg CO2e. The company's sustainability reports are key sources for this data, providing detailed breakdowns of their emissions and progress towards their reduction goals.
