SABIC is expected to be on a 2°C pathway by 2030 according to analysis by Planet Tracker. The company aims for carbon neutrality by 2050, targeting a 20% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2018 baseline.

Bayer is projected to align with a 2°C warming scenario by 2030, according to an updated analysis by Planet Tracker. This compares to an earlier 3°C projection in August 2023. The company aims for Net Zero GHG emissions by 2050, with interim goals for 2030, and achieved an 11% reduction in total GHG emissions from 2019 to 2023. However, Planet Tracker’s analysis shows significant variability in emissions trends, suggesting Bayer might struggle to meet its 2030 targets.
