Siemens's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Siemens reported total carbon emissions of approximately 347,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 94,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and a staggering 416,758,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This highlights the significant impact of their supply chain and product use on overall emissions. Siemens has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 55% by 2025 and 90% by 2030, both compared to a 2019 baseline. For Scope 3 emissions, the company targets a 15% reduction by 2030 and aims for a complete elimination by 2050. These targets align with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and reflect Siemens's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2050. The company has already made progress, having reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 373,000 kg CO2e, representing a 27% decrease from 2019 levels by 2020. Siemens is also committed to achieving net-zero emissions in its own operations by 2030, driven by energy efficiency measures and renewable energy sources. Overall, Siemens's climate strategy is robust, focusing on significant reductions across all scopes of emissions while committing to transparency and accountability in its sustainability journey.
