• Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, using a 2022 baseline.
• Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and use of sold products by 25% by 2030, also from a 2022 baseline.

Another near-term commitment is to reduce Scope 1 and 2 market-based GHG emissions to 50% of its 2019 baseline by 2030. For its long-term goals, the company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, from a 2022 base year.
