In 2024, the company's global emissions included Scope 1 at about 73,437,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at around 15,683,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 981,703,000 kg CO2e.

Imperial Brands has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by FY2040, using FY2017 as a base year. This commitment encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

Near-term targets include:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 97% by FY2030 from a FY2017 base year.
• Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2030 from a FY2017 base year.

Long-term targets, extending to FY2040, involve maintaining at least a 97% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions relative to the FY2017 base year and reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 91% from the FY2017 base year. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with keeping warming to 1.5°C. The company also aims to be net-zero in its direct operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030.
