Covestro

Covestro's reported carbon emissions

In 2025, Covestro's total global greenhouse gas emissions were approximately 21.85 billion kg CO2e. This breaks down into approximately 780 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, about 3.57 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 17.5 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. For 2024, Covestro reported global emissions totalling approximately 22.83 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 1.01 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) were approximately 3.84 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 17.98 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the company's global emissions were approximately 20.86 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 930 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 4.18 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and around 15.75 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. Covestro has set ambitious climate targets, including achieving net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2035 at all environmentally relevant sites. Furthermore, the company aims for net-zero Scope 3 emissions across its value chain by 2050. As an intermediate step, Covestro plans a 60% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, compared to 2020 levels. This target aims to reduce emissions from approximately 5.6 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents in 2020 to 2.2 million metric tons by 2030, excluding compensation measures. Additionally, the company targets a 30% reduction in upstream and downstream Scope 3 emissions by 2035, compared to the 2021 baseline of 10 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents. Covestro also aims to halve specific energy usage at its main production sites by 2030, relative to the 2005 baseline.
