The company has a Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) approved goal to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2030, using a 2017 baseline year. Additionally, an interim target is in place to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 10% by 2025 from the same 2017 baseline. Republic Services states it has achieved a 20% reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 2017 to 2024, resulting in a 20% decrease in total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions over the same period. The company is on track to meet its interim 10% reduction target by 2025 for Scope 1 emissions, though its Scope 2 target for the same period is not currently on track.
