Glencore

Glencore, headquartered in Switzerland (CH) and operating in the Chemical and fertilizer minerals, salt and other mining and quarrying products n.e.c. industry, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 473.1 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This figure comprises about 14.55 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 6.3 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions (or 7.05 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 location-based emissions), and approximately 452.3 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, including 366.06 billion kg CO2e from the use of sold products.

In 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 416.4 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 16.2 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions at 10.9 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions around 389.3 billion kg CO2e, which included 313.3 billion kg CO2e from the use of sold products and 4.86 billion kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities.

Glencore has set several climate commitments, including a long-term ambition to achieve net zero CO2e emissions across all scopes by the end of 2050, subject to a supportive policy environment. The company also aims for a 15% absolute reduction in its Scope 1, 2, and 3 industrial emissions by the end of 2026, and a 50% absolute reduction by the end of 2035, both against a restated 2019 baseline. An additional industrial emissions reduction target of 25% by the end of 2030 has been introduced as part of its updated Climate Action Transition Plan. Previously, in 2017, Glencore set a target to reduce its industrial Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity by 5% by 2020, compared to a 2016 baseline.
