Linde's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Linde plc reported total carbon emissions of approximately 16,582,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 21,562,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and 25,394,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The combined total for Scope 1 and 2 emissions reached about 38,144,000,000 kg CO2e. Linde has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 35% reduction in absolute GHG emissions from its 2021 inventory by 2035 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This target is aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks. Additionally, Linde aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, with a trajectory that anticipates a significant decline in emissions well before this date. In the near term, Linde has also committed to reducing its Scope 1 emissions by 30% from a 2020 baseline by 2030 and its Scope 2 emissions by the same percentage within the same timeframe. Furthermore, the company targets a 10% reduction in other GHG emissions by 2028. Linde's climate strategy reflects a comprehensive approach to sustainability, focusing on both absolute reductions and improvements in GHG intensity relative to EBITDA, with a goal of a 35% improvement by 2028. These initiatives underscore Linde's commitment to addressing climate change and reducing its environmental impact.
