“Reported carbon emissions 31% below baseline on road to net-zero carbon emissions. Baker Hughes reported that through year-end 2019 its Scope 1 and 2 carbon equivalent emissions were 31% lower than its 2012 baseline. Emissions increased slightly year over year primarily due to an increase in operational activity and an expanded reporting boundary for Scope 1 emissions. However, most of the collective increases were abated through energy efficiency improvements and emissions reduction projects around the globe from facility upgrades to renewable energy projects to logistics improvements. The company remains on track to reduce its carbon equivalent emissions 50% by 2030 and to achieve net-zero carbon equivalent emissions by 2050 in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. The company also has initiated a project to quantify an expanded set of Scope 3 emissions that will include supplier, customer, and employee impacts going forward.
