Sherwin Williams's reported carbon emissions

Sherwin-Williams, a US-based company in the secondary construction material and aggregate reprocessing industry, has reported significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2025, the company's total emissions were approximately 20.6 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 418.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 134.9 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling around 18.8 billion kg CO2e. For 2024, Sherwin-Williams reported total emissions of approximately 20.5 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of 439.0 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of 168.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 19.5 billion kg CO2e. The company's climate commitments include a target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. Progress towards this goal indicates that while the company is on track for Scope 2 reductions, it is not currently on track for Scope 1 reductions. In 2023, Sherwin-Williams disclosed Scope 1 emissions of about 434.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 265.8 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not fully disclosed for this year, with a missing data point for purchased goods and services. In 2022, total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 705.9 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 427.0 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based at 278.8 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were not disclosed for 2022. Prior years' data shows Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 659.8 million kg CO2e in 2021, 682.0 million kg CO2e in 2020, 721.2 million kg CO2e in 2019 (Scope 1: 398.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: 323.5 million kg CO2e), and 700.8 million kg CO2e in 2018. Scope 3 emissions were partially disclosed in some of these earlier years. Sherwin-Williams is not reporting cascaded emissions data from a parent company.
