Ww Grainger

W.W. Grainger's carbon emissions for 2024 were approximately 41.7 billion kg CO2e. This includes about 28 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 56 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based) emissions, and approximately 41.6 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

For 2023, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 30 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of around 56 million kg CO2e. In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were about 31 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 61 million kg CO2e.

W.W. Grainger has committed to significant emissions reductions. They aim to reduce their absolute global Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2018 baseline. This updated target, approved by their Board of Directors in 2023, aligns with the Science-Based Targets initiative's (SBTi) guidelines for limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. They have already achieved their previous 2030 target of a 30% reduction in global absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions since 2018, seven years ahead of schedule. Additionally, Grainger has a net-zero target to reduce carbon emissions from the operation of their buildings to net zero by 2030.
