John Deere

John Deere, headquartered in the US and operating in the Machinery and equipment n.e.c. industry, has disclosed its carbon emissions and climate commitments.

In 2025, John Deere's total reported emissions were approximately 75.6 billion kg CO2e. This included about 359.2 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 154.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and roughly 75.1 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. Notably, Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were primarily driven by the use of sold products (approximately 70 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 5.1 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, in 2024, the company's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 353.9 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were around 224 million kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 categories included use of sold products (roughly 76.2 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 5.5 billion kg CO2e). In 2023, Scope 1 emissions were about 410 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 280 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 saw use of sold products at around 89.1 billion kg CO2e and purchased goods and services at roughly 8.3 billion kg CO2e.

John Deere has set near-term Science Based Targets (SBTi) to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by fiscal year 2030, using fiscal year 2021 as the baseline. Additionally, the company commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services and use of sold products by 30% within the same timeframe (FY2030 from FY2021 baseline). The targets covering Scope 1 and 2 are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. The company also has an internal target to achieve at least a 20% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by fiscal year-end 2025 versus a 2021 baseline.
