Has near-term climate targets

DitchCarbon says SC Johnson has near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments. SBTi is a framework that checks whether company climate targets are in line with climate science. The material also says the company is listed as "Committed" to near-term targets. This shows the company has set formal climate goals, even though the page does not show full emissions data for the business.

Validated 2030 emissions target

The DitchCarbon page says SC Johnson has a validated target to cut total greenhouse gas emissions by 62% by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline. Greenhouse gas emissions are the gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. The page says this target covers the full supply chain, which means it includes emissions from suppliers and logistics as well as the company’s own operations.

Near-zero direct operations goal

DitchCarbon lists a 2025 goal for near-zero scope 1 and 2 emissions. Scope 1 means direct emissions from the company’s own sites and vehicles, while scope 2 means emissions from purchased electricity and energy. This suggests SC Johnson has already set a short-term target for cutting the climate impact of its own operations and energy use.

Scope 3 reduction target

The company also has a 2040 target to cut Scope 3 emissions intensity by 50%. Scope 3 means indirect emissions across the wider value chain, such as raw materials, transport, and product use. DitchCarbon marks this target as behind target, which suggests progress is not yet where it needs to be according to that tracker.
