Gates's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Gates reported total emissions of approximately 248.7 billion kg CO2e, encompassing both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. For the previous year, 2023, the company disclosed Scope 1 emissions of about 127.3 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 150.6 million kg CO2e, resulting in a combined total of about 277.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2. Gates has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. The emissions data is sourced directly from Gates Industrial Corporation plc, with no cascaded data from a parent or related organization. Overall, while Gates has made strides in reporting their emissions, the lack of comprehensive reduction targets and Scope 3 data indicates potential areas for improvement in their climate commitments.
