Evonik

Evonik, a chemical company headquartered in Germany, reported a total of approximately 23.9 billion kg CO2e in emissions for 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

For the reporting year 2025, Evonik's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 2.99 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 1.36 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions accounted for the largest portion, totalling around 19.5 billion kg CO2e. Within Scope 3, purchased goods and services represented the most significant contributor, at approximately 10.6 billion kg CO2e, followed by the use of sold products at approximately 3.4 billion kg CO2e, and the end-of-life treatment of sold products at approximately 2.5 billion kg CO2e.

In 2024, Evonik's total emissions were approximately 26.5 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 3.39 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 1.52 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 21.6 billion kg CO2e.

Evonik has set several climate commitments. The company aims for a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025, using 2008 as a baseline year. Additionally, Evonik is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25% between 2021 and 2030. They also have a near-term target to reduce Scope 3 emissions from their upstream value chain (raw material backpack) by 15% by 2025, compared to 2020 levels. Furthermore, Evonik has set a long-term goal to be carbon neutral by 2050. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with the 'Well Below 2°C' pathway.
