Eppendorf

Eppendorf, headquartered in Germany, has set ambitious climate commitments and disclosed its carbon emissions. In 2025, the company's total emissions are projected to be approximately 265.3 million kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 8.28 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of roughly 3.93 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 are purchased goods and services at approximately 104.33 million kg CO2e, and use of sold products at around 81.76 million kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2024, Eppendorf reported total emissions of approximately 293.55 million kg CO2e. This comprised Scope 1 emissions of about 8.66 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of roughly 3.56 million kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions, notably 106.11 million kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, and 94.49 million kg CO2e from the use of sold products.

Eppendorf is committed to near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) targets, aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 63.0% by 2035, using 2023 as the base year. The company also commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and use of sold products by 63.0% within the same timeframe. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. Furthermore, Eppendorf aims to achieve "zero" Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from its own operations by 2028, referencing a 2019 baseline.
