Whirlpool Corporation

Whirlpool Corporation reported Total CO2e Emissions - Location-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 31 December 2020 at 663 Kt (-21 /-3.1% y-o-y). At the same time, carbon intensity increased to 34 t (+0.6/+1.8% y-o-y).

Whirlpool Corporation's Scope 3 emissions plunged to 61,400 Kt (-6,200 /-9.2% y-o-y). This is a higher rate of decline than over the period since 4Q'16 (-3.2% CAGR).

The company is committed to achieving net zero for Scope 1 + 2 by 2030, which translates into the estimated reduction of -66 Kt per annum over the period of FY2021 - FY2030. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.

Whirlpool Corporation also has a science-based goal that, however, does not appear to explicitly target a company-wide reduction in emissions in absolute terms. Whirlpool Corporation commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50% by 2030 from a 2016 base year. Whirlpool Corporation also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from use of sold products 20% over the same timeframe
