Glanbia, headquartered in Ireland (IE), reported a total of approximately 9.8 billion kg CO2e in emissions for the year 2025. This comprehensive figure includes Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Broken down, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 150.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 47.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for the vast majority at approximately 9.6 billion kg CO2e. For 2024, Glanbia's total emissions were approximately 10.8 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 143.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 69.5 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 10.6 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions were approximately 11.5 billion kg CO2e, comprising approximately 144.0 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, and approximately 86.1 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, with Scope 3 emissions at approximately 11.3 billion kg CO2e. Glanbia has set a near-term target for a 50% absolute reduction in operations' emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by 2030, using a 2018 baseline. They also have a Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 31% by 2030 from a 2018 base year. Additionally, Glanbia commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 25% per tonne of dairy product produced by 2030, also from a 2018 base year. A more recent SBTi filing indicates a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50.4% by 2030 and absolute Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030. The organisation is also committed to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 31, 2025.
