Report Emissions, Petrochemicals Air Liquide Chemicals, Financial Risk & Reward, Shareholder Engagement, Transparency & Traceability Equity PT0144

Air Liquide is expected to remain aligned with a 2°C pathway by 2030. Operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2, market-based) have declined by 11.1% since 2020, supporting its 33% reduction target by 2035. However, total emissions fell only 2.7% between 2020 and 2024, as a 67% rise in upstream Scope 3 emissions offset reductions elsewhere. Scope 3 represents 40% of the footprint and remains without a quantified medium-term reduction target.

Toray is most likely aligned with a 2°C warming scenario by 2030. The company continues to target carbon neutrality by 2050, and its operational emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) fell 6.3% year-on-year in FY2024, with GHG intensity per unit of revenue now 42.8% below FY2013 levels. However, these gains are concentrated in the company’s own operations, which represent only about 22% of its total footprint. No absolute Scope 3 reduction target has been publicly disclosed.
