Ecolab

Ecolab reported Total CO2e Emissions - Market-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 31 December 2020 at 340 Kt (-295 /-46.5% y-o-y). Also positively, carbon intensity plunged to 29 t (-22 /-43.1% y-o-y).

Ecolab's Scope 3 emissions declined to 6,906 Kt (-119 /-1.7% y-o-y). The time series has been volatile over the last few periods.

The company has not set a company-wide target for an absolute reduction in GHG emissions yet.

Ecolab also has a science-based goal that, however, does not appear to explicitly target a company-wide reduction in emissions in absolute terms. Ecolab commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 50% by 2030 from a 2018 base year. Ecolab also commits that 70% of its suppliers by emissions covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and downstream transportation and distribution will set science-based targets by 2024.*The target boundary includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
