Avantor

Avantor, a US-based analytical laboratory instrument manufacturer, reported total emissions of approximately 2.65 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This figure comprises about 36.89 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 31.18 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions, and around 2.59 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

Looking back, in 2024, Avantor's total emissions were approximately 2.49 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 36.55 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at approximately 34.85 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 2.42 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 40.74 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 34.08 million kg CO2e; Scope 3 data for this year is not available. For 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 41.36 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 location-based emissions were about 37.12 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 data not disclosed. In 2021, Avantor's Scope 1 emissions were around 41.01 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 location-based emissions were approximately 39.50 million kg CO2e; Scope 3 data is also unavailable for this period. In 2020, total emissions were approximately 4.77 billion kg CO2e, including about 41.72 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 39.49 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 location-based, and around 4.69 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. The earliest data, from 2019, shows Scope 1 emissions of approximately 27.87 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 location-based emissions of about 38.19 million kg CO2e, with no Scope 3 data reported.

Avantor has set ambitious climate commitments, with Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) validated targets. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. Additionally, Avantor is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe, and specifically to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products for sold fossil fuels by 42% by 2030, also from a 2020 baseline. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. Earlier commitments included a near-term target to reduce operational (Scope 1 and Scope 2) emissions by 15% by 2025, based on a 2019 baseline.
