In 2024, the company reported a total of approximately 2.66 billion kg CO2e across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 36.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 34.8 million kg CO2e.

For 2023, Avantor's total emissions were approximately 2.46 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 40.7 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 34.1 million kg CO2e. In 2020, total emissions stood at approximately 4.77 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of around 41.7 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 39.5 million kg CO2e.

Avantor has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. Furthermore, Avantor has committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. A more specific Scope 3 target includes a commitment to reduce emissions from the use of sold products for sold fossil fuels by 42% by 2030 from the 2020 baseline. These targets are aligned with a 1.5°C warming pathway. The company's near-term targets include reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 15% by 2025, based on a 2019 baseline.

Avantor's emissions reporting demonstrates a comprehensive approach, including detailed breakdowns of Scope 3 categories such as purchased goods and services, which represented the largest portion of emissions in 2024 at approximately 1.39 billion kg CO2e.
