Reckitt

Reckitt, a retail trade services company based in Great Britain, has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 65% by 2030, compared to a 2015 baseline. Furthermore, Reckitt is committed to reducing its absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, also against a 2015 baseline. Looking further ahead, the company has set a target for carbon neutrality across all scopes by 2040.

In terms of reported emissions, for the year 2025, Reckitt reported a total of approximately 4.5 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 101.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 6.2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 4.4 billion kg CO2e. For the year 2024, total emissions were approximately 6.3 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 106.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions about 6.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions approximately 6.2 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, Reckitt's total emissions were approximately 6.2 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at roughly 114.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at approximately 8.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 6.1 billion kg CO2e.

Reckitt has demonstrated progress towards its targets. For instance, by 2020, the company achieved a 38.4% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to its 2015 baseline, indicating it was 59% of the way to its 2030 goal. The company is also increasing its sourcing of renewable electricity, aiming for 100% by 2030, having started from 5% in 2015. Reckitt's targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are aligned with a 1.5°C warming scenario.
