McDermott's reported carbon emissions
McDermott, a US-based construction company, has established ambitious climate commitments. For the reporting year 2025, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 164.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of about 4.5 million kg CO2e. In 2024, McDermott's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 169.5 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 (market-based) emissions around 9.6 million kg CO2e.
The company has set a target to achieve a net reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. Furthermore, McDermott is committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2050, also against the 2020 baseline. In 2021, the company aimed for a 5% reduction in emissions intensity across fabrication, construction, and marine operations compared to its 2020 baseline.
McDermott's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, with the company self-reporting its environmental performance. While Scope 1 and 2 data is available for recent years, Scope 3 emissions data, particularly for purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution, is currently missing.
