Within Scope 3, the largest contributors were purchased goods and services (approximately 29.1 billion kg CO2e), end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 19.7 billion kg CO2e), and use of sold products (approximately 18.6 billion kg CO2e).

In 2024, the company reported total emissions of approximately 135.7 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 15 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 7.1 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were approximately 118.5 billion kg CO2e, driven largely by the use of sold products (approximately 53.3 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 36.6 billion kg CO2e).

LyondellBasell has established ambitious climate commitments, including a target to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions from its global operations by 2050. Additionally, the company aims for an absolute reduction of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, relative to 2020 levels. A further commitment is to reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, also based on a 2020 baseline. These targets are in line with guidelines from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
