Zurich's reported carbon emissions

Zurich, an "Other business services (74)" industry organisation headquartered in CH, has reported significant progress in its carbon emissions reduction efforts, with a commitment to achieving net-zero operational emissions by 2030. For the reporting year 2025, Zurich reported total emissions of approximately 56.4 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. The breakdown includes Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 14.2 billion kg CO2e (comprising mobile and stationary combustion), Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1.5 billion kg CO2e (from purchased heat and electricity), and Scope 3 emissions amounting to approximately 40.7 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 include business travel (approximately 15.8 billion kg CO2e) and employee commute (approximately 19.4 billion kg CO2e). In 2024, total emissions were approximately 56.4 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 16.4 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 1.6 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions stood at approximately 38.4 billion kg CO2e. Zurich's climate commitments include an accelerated target to achieve net-zero operational emissions by 2030, advancing from a previous 2050 target. The organisation has set an aim to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 60% by 2025 and by 70% by 2029, using a 2022 baseline. Furthermore, Zurich aims for 75% of its managed procurement spend to be with suppliers that have science-based emissions reduction targets by 2025, and net-zero targets by 2030. The company has also previously reported a goal of being carbon neutral for all emissions by 2050. As of the 2025 reporting, Zurich's operational emissions performance was at 68.8% reduction against a 2019 baseline, exceeding the 2025 target of 60%.
