This comprised about 5 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, and approximately 400 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based and location-based totals were both reported as 400 million kg CO2e). Scope 3 emissions in 2023 totalled approximately 9.3 billion kg CO2e, with significant contributions from categories such as processing of sold products (about 4.2 billion kg CO2e) and end-of-life treatment of sold products (about 3.3 billion kg CO2e).

• 2022: Approximately 10.1 billion kg CO2e total emissions, with Scope 1 at about 400 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 400 million kg CO2e (market-based) to 500 million kg CO2e (location-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 9.2 billion kg CO2e.
• 2021: Approximately 9.8 billion kg CO2e in total emissions, with Scope 1 at about 400 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 400 million kg CO2e (market-based) to 500 million kg CO2e (location-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 9.4 billion kg CO2e.
• 2020: Approximately 10.9 billion kg CO2e in total emissions, with Scope 1 at about 400 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 600 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 9.5 billion kg CO2e.
• 2019: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 418 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 619 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year.
• 2014: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.5 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 1.3 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed.
• 2013: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.4 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 1.3 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed.
• 2012: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.4 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 1.3 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed.

Climate Commitments and Targets:

Weyerhaeuser has set ambitious climate targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company commits to:

• Reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2020 as the base year.
• Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% per ton of production by 2030, also from a 2020 base year.
• The target boundary includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.

Weyerhaeuser has also committed to Net Zero, with an end year of 2050, for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. The company has been recognised for its commitments by the SBTi, with targets classified as consistent with keeping warming to 1.5°C. Weyerhaeuser is also a signatory to the Climate Pledge.
