Firmenich's reported carbon emissions

### Firmenich's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments In 2025, Firmenich reported a total of approximately 11 billion kg CO2e in greenhouse gas emissions. This figure comprises approximately 581.7 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 140 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 10.3 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. The company's climate commitments include ambitious targets for emission reduction. Firmenich aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 55% by 2030, using 2017 as a baseline year. This near-term goal aligns with their broader objective to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2039, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Further, Firmenich has set a target to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030, compared to a 2021 base year. This reduction specifically targets emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and waste generated in operations. The company also aims for carbon neutrality in its direct operations (Scope 1 and 2 emissions) by 2025, with aspirations to be carbon positive thereafter. They are also committed to sourcing 100% renewable electricity annually through 2030 and have set a target for 80% of their suppliers by spend to have science-based targets by 2026. In terms of past performance, in 2022, Firmenich reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 193 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 8 million kg CO2e (market-based). In 2021, Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 1.05 billion kg CO2e. For 2024, the total reported emissions were approximately 11.4 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 605.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 170 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 10.6 billion kg CO2e.
