Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Robert Bosch GmbH has set several key targets to address its carbon footprint:

• Absolute Scope 1 & 2 Emissions: Aims for an 85% reduction by 2030, using 2018 as the baseline year.
• Absolute Scope 3 Emissions: Targets a 30% reduction by 2030, also from a 2018 baseline year, irrespective of company growth.
• Renewable Electricity Sourcing: Committed to increasing annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 14% in 2018 to 100% by 2030.
• Carbon Neutrality (Scopes 1 & 2): Achieved carbon neutrality for scopes 1 and 2 overall since 2020. In 2025, residual emissions of roughly 554,900 metric tons of CO2e were offset to achieve this. The company aims to reduce the share of offset emissions for scope 1 and 2 carbon neutrality to no more than 15 percent by 2030, compared to the 2018 baseline.

These commitments align with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards, indicating a strong focus on climate action within the automotive industry. The company's targets are classified as 1.5°C consistent.
