Reckitt, headquartered in the UK and operating in the Retail trade services industry, has set ambitious climate targets. As of 2023, Reckitt reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions of approximately 42.4 billion kg CO2e. This includes about 114.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 8.8 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions, and around 37.4 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions related to the use of sold products, alongside 4.2 billion kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, 1.07 billion kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution, 1.57 billion kg CO2e from downstream transportation and distribution, 28.1 million kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, 50.4 million kg CO2e from business travel, 30.4 million kg CO2e from downstream leased assets, and 291 million kg CO2e from end-of-life treatment of sold products.

Reckitt has committed to several Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets. These include a near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 65% by 2030 from a 2015 base year. Additionally, Reckitt aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2015 base year. This Scope 3 reduction specifically targets emissions from purchased goods and services, direct emissions from the use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products. Reckitt has also committed to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 5% in 2015 to 100% by 2030. Reckitt further aims for carbon neutrality, with an ambitious target to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 100% by 2040 versus 2015, effectively achieving Net Zero emissions across its value chain by 2040. The company is a signatory of the Climate Pledge, committing to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
