Rexel

Rexel, a company in the Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. (31) industry, headquartered in France, has set ambitious climate commitments. For the fiscal year 2025, Rexel reported total global GHG emissions of approximately 57.8 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 70.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 6.6 million kg CO2e. The majority of their emissions, approximately 57.7 billion kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, with the use of sold products being the most significant category at approximately 45.7 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at about 10.5 billion kg CO2e.

In 2024, Rexel's total global GHG emissions were approximately 64.5 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 72.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 12.2 million kg CO2e. Their Scope 3 emissions for that year were around 64.4 billion kg CO2e, with the use of sold products accounting for approximately 51.3 billion kg CO2e and purchased goods and services at about 11.3 billion kg CO2e.

Rexel is committed to a net-zero GHG emissions target across its value chain by 2050, with a base year of 2016. Their near-term targets include a 60% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, and a 35% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by the same year. Long-term, Rexel aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050, all compared to their 2016 baseline. These targets are recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
