This total is comprised of: * **Scope 1 emissions:** Approximately 15,123,000 kg CO2e. * **Scope 2 emissions (location-based):** Approximately 19,630,000 kg CO2e. * **Scope 2 emissions (market-based):** Approximately 7,326,000 kg CO2e. * **Scope 3 emissions:** Approximately 386,908,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 121,783,000 kg CO2e), use of sold products (approximately 196,100,000 kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 32,270,000 kg CO2e). Previous years' data shows: * **2023:** Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12,700,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 4,300,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year. * **2022:** Scope 1 emissions were approximately 13,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 4,300,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed. * **2021:** Scope 1 emissions were approximately 13,500,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 7,500,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** Waters Corporation has established several science-based targets, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi): * **Near-term targets (by 2030, from a 2024 base year):** * Reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 42.0%. * Reduce absolute Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42.0%. * Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 51.6% per USD value added. * Commitment that 52% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by 2030. * **Long-term targets:** * Achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050. * Reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050 from a 2024 base year. * Reduce absolute Scope 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050 from a 2024 base year. * Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and use of sold products by 97.0% per USD value added by 2050. Previously, Waters Corporation reported reducing total Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions by 10.3% from a 2016 baseline by the end of 2020. There was also a near-term target to reduce GHG emissions by 35% by 2025 from a 2016 baseline.
