John Deere

John Deere, a machinery and equipment company based in the US, has outlined ambitious climate commitments. For the fiscal year 2025, the company reported total emissions of approximately 75.6 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 359.2 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 154.5 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling about 75.08 billion kg CO2e. The majority of these Scope 3 emissions stem from the use of sold products (approximately 69.98 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 5.09 billion kg CO2e).

In fiscal year 2024, John Deere's total emissions were approximately 81.6 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 353.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 224 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions including around 76.2 billion kg CO2e from the use of sold products and 5.53 billion kg CO2e from purchased goods and services.

For fiscal year 2023, the company reported total emissions of approximately 97.8 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 410 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions at approximately 280 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 97.38 billion kg CO2e.

John Deere has validated Science Based Targets (SBTi) aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory. These commitments include a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by fiscal year 2030, using fiscal year 2021 as a baseline. Furthermore, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions, specifically from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products, by 30% within the same timeframe.

As of fiscal year 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 418.2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 market-based emissions were about 298.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for that year included approximately 89.9 billion kg CO2e from the use of sold products and 8.32 billion kg CO2e from purchased goods and services.

In fiscal year 2021, John Deere reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 403.3 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions of around 407.7 million kg CO2e. Their Scope 3 emissions included categories such as capital goods (530 million kg CO2e), business travel (36 million kg CO2e), use of sold products (93.12 billion kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (8.14 billion kg CO2e), waste generated in operations (13 million kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (530 million kg CO2e).

Earlier data indicates Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 840.5 million kg CO2e in fiscal year 2020 and 977.2 million kg CO2e in fiscal year 2019. Data for fiscal years prior to 2020 is presented for Scope 1 and 2 emissions only.
