Whirlpool's reported carbon emissions

Whirlpool Corporation's climate commitments focus on significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For 2024, Whirlpool reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 121,002,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 77,733,000 kg CO2e. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products were approximately 48,309,782,000 kg CO2e. The company's total emissions for 2024 were approximately 48,508,515,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, Whirlpool's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 140,806,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 174,042,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 (use of sold products) at approximately 49,500,000,000 kg CO2e. Their total emissions for that year were approximately 49,814,848,000 kg CO2e. Whirlpool has set ambitious targets, including achieving Net Zero emissions for its global plants and operations by 2030, covering Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, the company has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 65.0% by 2030 from a 2021 base year, and absolute Scope 2 GHG emissions by 65.0% by 2030 from the same 2021 base year. They also aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 25.0% by 2030. A long-term goal includes achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050, with a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050 from a 2021 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products by 90.0% within the same timeframe. In a notable achievement, Whirlpool reported in 2024 that it had successfully reduced GHG emissions in its US manufacturing sites by 50% from a 2019 base year, supporting the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Climate Challenge. Their climate targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with a commitment to align with a 1.5°C warming scenario.
