General Motors has set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. The company commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 72% by 2035 from a 2018 base year. Furthermore, General Motors Company aims to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold light-duty vehicles by 51% per vehicle kilometre by 2035 from a 2018 base year. These targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions are consistent with a 1.5°C warming pathway, while Scope 3 emissions targets are consistent with a well-below 2°C warming pathway. General Motors is also committed to becoming carbon neutral in its global products and operations by 2040 and has pledged to meet 100% of the electricity needs of its global operations with renewable energy by 2050. Additionally, the company aims to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025.
