Robert Bosch GmbH Carbon Emissions & Climate Commitments

Robert Bosch GmbH, headquartered in Germany and operating in the motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers industry, has demonstrated a clear commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.

Recent Emissions Data: In 2025, Robert Bosch GmbH reported total Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 511 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at around 450 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 61 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for the same year were substantially higher, totalling approximately 311.1 billion kg CO2e, primarily driven by the use of sold products (about 282.3 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 26.9 billion kg CO2e).

Looking at 2024, the company's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 460 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions stood at around 71 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2024 were about 312.2 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, Scope 1 emissions were around 501 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 80 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reached about 340.5 billion kg CO2e.

Historical data shows that in 2022, Robert Bosch GmbH reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 523 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 194 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 342.7 billion kg CO2e. The company has made significant strides in reducing its combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with a notable decrease from approximately 3.225 billion kg CO2e in 2017 to about 511 million kg CO2e in 2025.

Climate Commitments & Reduction Targets: Robert Bosch GmbH has set ambitious Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved goals. The company commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 85% and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, using 2018 as the baseline year. Additionally, Robert Bosch GmbH aims to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 14% in 2018 to 100% by 2030.

The company has also committed to further reducing the share of offsets used to achieve carbon neutrality (Scope 1 & 2) to no more than 15% by 2030, compared to its 2018 baseline. Notably, Robert Bosch GmbH has been carbon neutral overall for its Scope 1 and 2 emissions across its more than 470 worldwide locations since 2020. In 2025, residual emissions of approximately 554,900 metric tons of CO2 were offset to maintain this neutrality.
