Fortive's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Fortive reported total carbon emissions of approximately 650,169,000 kg CO2e, comprising 13,258,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 37,911,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 599,919,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, including all three scopes, which is essential for understanding the full impact of their operations. Fortive's emissions have varied over the years, with total emissions recorded at approximately 66,066,000 kg CO2e in 2018, 62,135,000 kg CO2e in 2019, and 67,753,000 kg CO2e in 2020. The company has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The company’s emissions intensity, measured as GHG emissions per dollar of revenue, has shown fluctuations, with a notable intensity of 51.0 kg CO2e per $1,000 revenue in 2021. This metric is crucial for assessing the efficiency of their operations in relation to their carbon footprint. Overall, while Fortive has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
