In 2022, Linde's total carbon emissions amounted to approximately 38,800,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 16,800,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 22,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The emissions data is cascaded from Linde Inc., which operates as a current subsidiary of Linde plc. Linde has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and commitment. As a leader in the industrial gases sector, Linde's climate commitments are crucial for aligning with global sustainability goals, although specific reduction strategies remain unspecified.
