Evonik has established several climate commitments and reduction targets. The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2025, using 2008 as a baseline year. They are also working towards a 25% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions between 2021 and 2030. Furthermore, Evonik has set a target to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions from its upstream value chain by 15% by 2025, with 2020 as the reference year. Looking ahead, Evonik aims to be climate-neutral by 2050.

Specific near-term targets include reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. For Scope 3, Evonik aims for an 11% reduction in emissions from downstream transportation and distribution, and a 22.5% reduction in emissions from the use of sold products (covering fossil fuels sold and distributed) by 2030, from a 2021 base year. The company's commitments align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aiming for reductions consistent with keeping warming to well below 2°C.
