Procter And Gamble's reported carbon emissions
Procter & Gamble (P&G), headquartered in the US and operating in the Chemicals nec industry, has reported its carbon emissions across various scopes. For the reporting year 2024, P&G's total reported emissions were approximately 166.7 billion kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1, Scope 2 (both market-based and location-based figures were provided), and Scope 3 emissions.
Scope 1 emissions for 2024 were approximately 1,987,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions for 2024 were approximately 145,000,000 kg CO2e (using the market-based method). The location-based method reported approximately 2,211,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were substantial, with significant contributions from the 'use of sold products' at approximately 142,000,000,000 kg CO2e, and 'purchased goods and services' at approximately 14,400,000,000 kg CO2e. Other disclosed Scope 3 categories for 2024 include 'end-of-life treatment of sold products' (approximately 8,100,000,000 kg CO2e) and 'upstream transportation and distribution' (approximately 3,500,000,000 kg CO2e).
P&G has established several ambitious climate commitments. Notably, they aim to reduce their Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, against a 2010 baseline, a target validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). They also have a goal to reduce upstream finished product freight emissions intensity by 50% by 2030, compared to a 2020 baseline. Furthermore, P&G's ambition is to reach net zero GHG emissions across its entire supply chain, from raw material to retailer, by 2040.
Historical emissions data indicates a peak in Scope 1 and 2 emissions around 2013, with a total of approximately 5,483,000,000 kg CO2e in that year. Emissions have generally shown a downward trend in Scope 1 and 2 since then, particularly when considering the 2024 figures. However, Scope 3 emissions, driven largely by the use of sold products, remain a significant component of their overall carbon footprint.
P&G has also committed to increasing its active annual sourcing of renewable electricity, aiming for 100% by FY2030 from a 21% level in FY2015. These commitments demonstrate P&G's engagement with industry-standard climate terminology and its efforts towards emission reduction targets.
