- Environmental data in this table covers all worldwide operations, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, offices, labs, commercial fleets and consolidated subsidiaries. The scope of environment data presented in this report include operations that we control. Where data is not available, estimations based on regional energy intensity factors or other existing data is used. Historical data may be subject to revision due to data source restatements and updates to methodology. There may be differences in baseline and subsequent reporting year values due to changes in the business that require baseline adjustments conducted in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Environmental data is baseline adjusted using reporting boundaries per the World Resources Institute (WRI) Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Reporting Standard (the revenue component of intensity values is not baseline adjusted). Environmental data related to the acquisition of Solventum's Purification and Filtration business are excluded.
- Data presented herein include restated environmental data for the 2018 to 2024 reporting year(s) resulting from the following: -Operational data collection improvements, -Increased usage of supplier-specific emission factors and proxies in Scope 3 Categories 1 and 2, -Removal of hotel related emissions in Scope 3 Category 6 and work-from-home related emissions in Scope 3 Category 7 in accordance with SBTi guidance -Removal of radiative forcing emission impact for air freight and travel-related emissions -Adjustments to energy attribute certificates allocation within the relevant electricity grid region, and emission factor updates.
- 2024 and 2025 values includes a reduction of 7,597 and 8,111 tCO2e, respectively, related to consumption of sustainable aviation fuel and other biofuels for a portion of air and ground freight.
- 2023 and 2024 values include a reduction of 237 and 252 tCO2e, respectively, related to consumption of sustainable aviation fuel for a portion of air travel.
- Analysis is currently unable to separate upstream and downstream transportation and distribution. Figures presented in upstream transportation and distribution represent both upstream and downstream emissions.
- Addressable spend includes all spend in Purchased Goods and Services, Scope 3 Category 1 and Capital Goods, Scope 3 Category 2. The boundary is companies reporting a science-based target via the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), other public source, and/or having at least three years of aligned Scope 1 and 2 GHG reduction performance as of December 31, 2025. Our Scope 3 target baseline year is 2021, which was when data collection began.
- Value includes Scope 1, 2 and Scope 3 (categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
- This indicator does not include 88 and 130 tCO2e of carbon removal credits that were purchased and retired in 2021 and 2022, respectively, using technologies such as biochar. In accordance with the SBTi Corporate Net Zero Standard, carbon offsets and credits are not considered in the emission values presented in this report.
- Energy attribute certificates retired include Green-e certified Renewable Energy Certifications (RECs), EECS AIB Guarantees of Origin, and International RECs to match electricity usage in the United States, Canada, Europe, Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and South Africa.
- The decrease in number of sites powered by 100% renewable electricity in 2024 is a result of our strategic transition from using globally sourced unbundled energy attribute certificates to pursuing large additive power purchasing agreements that support new renewable energy generation.
- A fossil fuel-free facility is defined as having greater than 99% of total energy consumed from renewable energy sources.
- Water-scarce areas were identified using the WWF Water Risk FilterTM tool.
