Rexel

Rexel, a leading electrical machinery and apparatus distributor headquartered in France, is actively engaged in reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Carbon Emissions Data:

In 2025, Rexel reported total GHG emissions of approximately 57.8 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises:

• Scope 1: Approximately 70.5 million kg CO2e.
• Scope 2: Approximately 6.6 million kg CO2e (market-based).
• Scope 3: Approximately 57.7 billion kg CO2e, with the largest contributions from the "use of sold products" (around 45.7 billion kg CO2e) and "purchased goods and services" (around 10.5 billion kg CO2e).

In the preceding year, 2024, total emissions were approximately 64.5 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 72.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 12.2 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were approximately 64.4 billion kg CO2e.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Rexel has set ambitious targets to combat climate change, aligning with a 1.5°C pathway. The company is committed to reaching net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050, with interim targets:

• By 2030:

  • A reduction of 60% in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions compared to a 2016 baseline.
  • A reduction of 35% in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe.
  • Specifically, Scope 3 emissions from the "use of sold products" are targeted for a 45% reduction by 2030 from the 2016 baseline.

• By 2050:

  • A reduction of 90% in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions compared to a 2016 baseline.
  • A reduction of 90% in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe.

These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Rexel reports being on track to meet its near-term Scope 2 reduction targets.
