Corning's Commitments
Corning also has an SBTi approved near-term science-based emissions target to reduce our absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 17.5% by 2028 from the 2021 base year. This target covers the first four Scope 3 categories of purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities (FERA), and upstream transportation and distribution, which combined account for 79% of our total Scope 3 GHG emissions.
Corning has initiated its supplier engagement emissions strategy, which begins with mapping suppliers based on spend, emissions, and maturity.
In 2023, Corning formally launched its supplier engagement activities to reduce our supply chain carbon footprint in alignment with our public goals. Corning is actively working with selected suppliers to implement initiatives that directly have an impact on Corning supply chain carbon footprint. Corning is encouraging implementation of renewable energy targets and energy efficiency initiatives to reduce their operational emissions (Scope 1&2). To reduce our upstream transportation emissions, we are reducing the use high emissions transportation modes while implementing the use of more sustainable transportation options.
