As of 2025, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has reported a GHG emission intensity index of approximately -43.0, reflecting their commitment to reducing carbon emissions across all scopes. In 2020, the carbon intensity for GHG Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions was recorded at 0.068 metric tons CO2e per megajoule, indicating a focus on improving energy efficiency and reducing overall emissions.

Their emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that their reporting is independent. The organisation's climate commitments are underscored by their ongoing efforts to promote sustainable business practices and drive collective action towards a low-carbon economy. However, specific reduction initiatives or pledges have not been detailed in the available data.
