In 2024, W.W. Grainger, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,000,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 28,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 56,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 940,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has made notable strides in its climate commitments, achieving a 31% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions since 2018, surpassing its previous target of 30% reduction set for 2030, which it met seven years early. Grainger has set an ambitious new target to reduce its absolute global Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2018 as the baseline. This target aligns with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) guidelines, aiming to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Additionally, Grainger is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions from its building operations by 2030. The company acknowledges the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which primarily arise from the energy required to operate the products it sells. Grainger plans to provide a comprehensive analysis of its Scope 3 emissions and establish reduction targets in the near future.
