QIAGEN's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments

QIAGEN, headquartered in Germany and operating within the "Other services (93)" industry, is actively engaged in reducing its environmental impact. The company has set ambitious climate targets aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, including achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2050, with a 2020 base year.

Recent Emissions Data:

• 2025: QIAGEN reported a total of approximately 292.3 million kg CO2e. This comprised about 10.7 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 3.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based). Scope 3 emissions accounted for the largest portion, at approximately 278 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the most significant category.
• 2024: Total emissions were approximately 334.4 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 11.4 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 3.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were around 319.6 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the primary contributor.
• 2023: The company reported a total of approximately 351.4 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 13.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 3.9 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions totalled roughly 334.1 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services representing the largest share.
• 2022: Total emissions stood at approximately 341.5 million kg CO2e, including about 13.9 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 6.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were around 321.1 million kg CO2e.
• 2021: Total emissions were approximately 380.8 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 11.1 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at roughly 9.8 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions contributed significantly, totalling approximately 359.9 million kg CO2e.
• 2020: The baseline year for QIAGEN's climate targets, total emissions were approximately 426.2 million kg CO2e. This included about 10.2 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 10.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were substantial at around 405.6 million kg CO2e.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

QIAGEN has established a comprehensive set of climate goals, many of which are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi):

• Near-Term Targets (by 2030, from a 2020 base year):
  • A reduction of 42% in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
  • A reduction of 25% in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products.
  • Commitment to have 67% of its suppliers (by emissions) covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution, set science-based targets by 2027.
• Long-Term Targets (by 2050, from a 2020 base year):
  • A 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions.
  • Achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain.

QIAGEN's commitment to sustainability is evidenced by its consistent reporting of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and its alignment with internationally recognised climate frameworks.
