Sartorius

Sartorius, a German analytical laboratory instrument manufacturer, reported total emissions of approximately 539,902,000 kg CO2e in 2025. This includes Scope 1 emissions of around 21,185,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of about 35,973,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 482,744,000 kg CO2e.

For 2024, Sartorius's total emissions were approximately 526,203,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 20,359,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of roughly 34,830,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 471,014,000 kg CO2e.

In 2023, the company's total emissions stood at approximately 896,898,000 kg CO2e. This figure was made up of Scope 1 emissions of about 13,103,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of roughly 26,823,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 856,972,000 kg CO2e.

Sartorius has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net climate neutrality across its business activities by 2045. The company also intends to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating all avoidable emissions and offsetting the remaining ones by 2045.

Near-term, Sartorius has set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets:

• To reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42.0% by 2030, using a 2022 base year. This target is consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
• To reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions by 51.6% per EUR value added by 2030, also from a 2022 base year. This specifically addresses indirect emissions along the value chain, with key drivers including decarbonisation of the supply chain, eco-design of products and packaging, logistics, and sustainable building construction.

Earlier commitments include reducing avoidable Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 GHG emissions to zero by 2030. The company also aimed to reduce CO2 equivalent emission intensity by an average of 10% per year by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline.
