Sherwin Williams

Sherwin-Williams, a US-based company operating in the secondary construction material sector, is committed to reducing its environmental impact. For 2025, the company reported total global emissions of approximately 20,377.1 million kg CO2e. This figure comprises 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 about 18,821.9 million kg CO2e. Key contributors to their Scope 3 emissions include the processing of sold products (approximately 7,855.0 million kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (around 6,340.5 million kg CO2e), and the end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 2,220.7 million kg CO2e).

In 2024, Sherwin-Williams reported total global emissions of approximately 20,485.1 million kg CO2e. This breakdown included Scope 1 emissions of around 439.0 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of approximately 168.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 19,468.6 million kg CO2e.

The company has established a clear climate target: to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. This commitment is reflected across multiple reporting years, including their 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 sustainability reports. For 2023, they reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 434.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of around 265.8 million kg CO2e.

While Scope 3 emissions data is not always fully disclosed for all years, the company's reporting indicates a significant focus on these upstream and downstream impacts, particularly in the areas of purchased goods and services and the processing and end-of-life treatment of sold products. Sherwin-Williams is actively working towards these reduction goals, with tracking indicating they are on track for Scope 2 emissions against their near-term targets.
