Robert Bosch GmbH's reported carbon emissions
Robert Bosch GmbH, a company in the Motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (34) industry based in Germany, has reported its carbon emissions for several years. In 2025, the company's total emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) were approximately 314.2 billion kg CO2e. This figure breaks down into about 461 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and approximately 58 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, totalling around 311.1 billion kg CO2e in 2025, with the use of sold products being the largest contributor at approximately 282.3 billion kg CO2e. Bosch achieved carbon neutrality for its Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2020. By 2025, residual emissions for scopes 1 and 2 were around 554,900 metric tons of CO2e, which were offset through carbon credits. The company has set ambitious climate targets. In line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Robert Bosch GmbH commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 85% by 2030, using a 2018 baseline year. For Scope 3 emissions, the company aims for an absolute reduction of 15% by 2030 against the same 2018 baseline. Furthermore, Bosch is committed to increasing its annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 14% in 2018 to 100% by 2030. Some reports indicate a target to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, also from a 2018 baseline year. Additionally, there is a documented aim to reduce the proportion of offsets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions to no more than 15% by 2030, compared to the 2018 baseline. This progress is being tracked, with some near-term targets showing positive momentum.
