Glencore

Glencore, a Swiss-based company 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 includes Scope 1 emissions of about 14.55 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 6.3 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 452.3 billion kg CO2e, with use of sold products accounting for approximately 366.06 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, Glencore's emissions in 2024 were approximately 416.4 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 16.2 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: 10.9 billion kg CO2e, Scope 3: 389.3 billion kg CO2e). In 2023, total emissions stood at around 430.1 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 18.1 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2: 10.1 billion kg CO2e, Scope 3: 401.8 billion kg CO2e). The company's highest reported emissions within the provided data were in 2019, with a total of approximately 546.5 billion kg CO2e.

Glencore has set several climate commitments. Their long-term ambition is to achieve net zero CO2e emissions across all scopes by the end of 2050, subject to a supportive policy environment. They also have near-term absolute reduction targets to cut total (Scope 1, 2, and 3) industrial emissions by 15% by the end of 2026, and by 50% 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 also been introduced. Previously, Glencore aimed to reduce its industrial Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity by 5% by 2020 compared to a 2016 baseline.
