Beiersdorf has established ambitious climate targets, including a commitment to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 10% by 2025 against a 2018 baseline. Furthermore, the Consumer Business Segment has set a target to reduce its Scope 3 emissions by 30% in absolute terms by 2025, also from a 2018 baseline, and aims for climate neutrality in all its production centres by 2030. The tesa Business Segment targets climate-neutral production by 2030 and a 20% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030 compared to the 2018 baseline.

The company's climate targets are recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are aligned with the 1.5-degree scenario of the Paris Agreement. Beiersdorf has also committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2045, with a long-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% by 2045 from a 2018 baseline. Additionally, Beiersdorf AG commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 70% by 2032 from a 2018 base year. For Scope 3, a reduction of 40% in absolute terms is targeted by 2032. The company is also working towards reducing Scope 1 and 2 energy-related emissions by 30% by 2025 and by 50% by 2032, relative to a 2018 baseline.
