GHG emissions and Carbon intensity

Paypal Holdings reported Total CO2e Emissions - Market-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 31 December 2020 at 25 Kt (-28 /-52.7% y-o-y). Also positively, carbon intensity tumbled to 1.2 t (-1.8 /-60% y-o-y).

Paypal Holdings's Scope 3 emissions tumbled to 14 Kt (-46 /-77.3% y-o-y). The time series has been volatile over the last few periods.

The company is committed to reducing Scope 1 + 2 by 25% by 2025 from a base year 2019, which it appears to have already achieved as of 2020. This science-based target is aligned with Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

Also, the company commits to achieving net zero for all Scopes by 2040, which translates into the estimated reduction of -1.9 Kt per annum over the period of FY2021 - FY2040. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.
