Lear

Lear, a US-headquartered company in the motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers industry, reported its most recent emissions data for 2024. In 2024, Lear's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 75.85 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 288.57 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 8.86 billion kg CO2e. For the prior year, 2023, the total emissions were approximately 9.49 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 86.30 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at about 299.57 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 9.49 billion kg CO2e.

Lear has set several climate commitments and reduction targets. Through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Lear Corporation commits to an absolute reduction of its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2019 base year. Additionally, Lear aims to reduce its absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 35% across various categories, including purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, by 2033, also from a 2019 base year. These targets are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.

Further, Lear has an internal commitment to reduce GHG emissions from electricity used at all its facilities by 50% by 2030, with a 2019 base year, specifically targeting Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. An earlier target aimed for a 15% GHG reduction for 2020, with a 2018 base year, for both Scope 1 and Scope 2. Lear has also stated a commitment to reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade (2025).
