Imcd's reported carbon emissions

IMCD, headquartered in NL and operating in the Chemicals nec industry, has established ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with a near-term target to reduce emissions by 45% by 2030. Furthermore, IMCD committed in 2025 to set near-term emissions reduction targets aligned with SBTi criteria and announced a new goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 60% by 2034. For the reporting year 2025, IMCD reported total global emissions of approximately 5.24 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 5.39 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 4.67 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling around 5.23 billion kg CO2e. The largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions was purchased goods and services, amounting to approximately 4.73 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, IMCD's total global emissions were approximately 5.11 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 6.27 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 5.84 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 5.09 billion kg CO2e. Purchased goods and services were again the dominant source of Scope 3 emissions, at approximately 4.59 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, IMCD reported total global emissions of approximately 4.56 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions stood at about 6.11 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 4.82 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions amounted to roughly 4.55 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for approximately 4.10 billion kg CO2e. IMCD's climate strategy is aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) criteria, as indicated by their commitment to setting near-term targets. The company's reporting for 2022 showed total global emissions of approximately 349.61 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 5.59 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at roughly 6.27 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 337.74 million kg CO2e. Prior years also show significant Scope 3 emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services, which is a key focus area for reduction efforts. The company's commitment to a net-zero future by 2050 underscores its dedication to long-term climate action within the chemicals sector.
