Watches of Switzerland

Watches of Switzerland, a UK-based company in the Electrical machinery and apparatus sector, reported its most recent carbon emissions for 2026. Their total greenhouse gas emissions were approximately 265,631,000 kg CO2e. This included about 460,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 3,803,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 265,171,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

Looking back, their total emissions for 2025 were approximately 232,582,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: 252,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 location-based: 4,108,000 kg CO2e, Scope 3: 230,901,000 kg CO2e). In 2024, total emissions were about 238,779,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: 247,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 location-based: 4,067,000 kg CO2e, Scope 3: 236,924,000 kg CO2e). For 2022, they reported total emissions of around 170,561,000 kg CO2e, comprising approximately 346,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3,252,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 166,963,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Watches of Switzerland has committed to several climate action targets. They aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain by 2050, based on a FY2024 baseline. Their near-term targets include a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1 GHG emissions by FY2030 from a FY2024 base year. They also plan to source 100% renewable electricity by 2025 and maintain this through 2030, and further commit to a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions by FY2030 from a FY2024 base year. For long-term goals, they are targeting a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 GHG emissions by 2050 from a FY2024 base year, continuous sourcing of 100% renewable electricity through 2050, and a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from a FY2024 base year. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with keeping warming to 1.5°C.
