In 2024, the company reported total emissions of approximately 9.24 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions were the most significant contributor, amounting to approximately 8.86 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 75.85 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 288.57 million kg CO2e (market-based).

In 2023, Lear Corporation's total emissions were approximately 9.49 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of approximately 86.30 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 299.57 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 9.49 billion kg CO2e.

Lear has established climate commitments and reduction targets. The company is committed to reducing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade, aiming for a net-zero target by 2025. Furthermore, Lear has set a near-term target to reduce GHG emissions from electricity used at all its facilities by 50% by 2030, based on a 2019 baseline. This commitment extends to a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions at manufacturing facilities by 2030.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated Lear Corporation's commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. Additionally, Lear has committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 35% by 2033, covering categories such as purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, end-of-life treatment of sold products, and investments. These Scope 1 and 2 targets are consistent with keeping warming to 1.5°C.
