Alcon's reported carbon emissions

As of 2025, Alcon's total carbon emissions amount to approximately 1,200,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from all scopes: Scope 1 emissions are about 78,239,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) total approximately 121,960,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions are significant at about 1,195,537,000 kg CO2e. Alcon has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for carbon neutrality across its global operations for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030. This commitment reflects a proactive approach to reducing its carbon footprint. Additionally, the company acknowledges the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which constitute a substantial portion of its total greenhouse gas emissions. Alcon aspires to establish reduction targets for Scope 3 emissions by 2040 and 2050, in line with the Swiss Ordinance on Climate Disclosures and associated climate goals. In the interim, Alcon is focused on refining emissions data for priority categories, particularly purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution. These initiatives demonstrate Alcon's commitment to sustainability and its recognition of the need for comprehensive strategies to tackle climate change effectively.
