Scope 1 and 2 emissions
Type | Description | 2020 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Scope 1 | Scope 1 GHG emissions (MT CO2e) | 386,000 | 370,000 | 354,000 | 334,000 |
Gases included in the calculation | CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, and NF3 | ||||
Base year | 2020 | ||||
Consolidation approach | Corteva’s reporting excludes sites where we have less than 50% operational control, as these do not meet our definition of operational control. Corteva excludes most office, administrative buildings and dedicated warehouses (with no additional onsite operations) as they are immaterial for our total GHG footprint. | ||||
Source of emissions factors and | Since 2020, we’ve adopted The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition) or "GHG Protocol" to guide our emission data collection and calculation methodologies, U.S. EPA Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database, and U.S. EPA Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule. The GHG Protocol is our overarching framework for Scope 1, 2, and 3 data. We incorporate a variety of emission factor sources. Emission factors and CO2e calculation methodologies have generally been derived from U.S. EPA Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule. | ||||
Scope 2 | Scope 2 market GHG emissions (MT CO2e) | 609,000 | 561,000 | 558,000 | 406,000 |
Scope 2 location GHG emissions (MT CO2e)1 | 519,000 | ||||
Gases included in the calculation | CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, and NF3 | ||||
Base year | 2020 | ||||
Consolidation approach | Corteva’s reporting excludes sites where we have less than 50% operational control, as these do not meet our definition of operational control. Corteva excludes most office, administrative buildings and dedicated warehouses (with no additional onsite operations) as they are immaterial for our total GHG footprint. | ||||
Source of emissions factors and | For Scope 2, we are reporting both our market-based and location-based approaches. Since 2020, we’ve adopted The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition) or "GHG Protocol" to guide our emission data collection and calculation methodologies, U.S. EPA Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database, and U.S. EPA Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule. The GHG Protocol is our overarching framework for Scope 1, 2 and 3 data. We incorporate a variety of emission factor sources. Emission factors and CO2e calculation methodologies have generally been derived from U.S. EPA Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule and the U.S. EPA eGRID. | ||||
- 2025 Scope 2 location-based emissions are disclosed for the first time using new calculation technology introduced in 2025. Prior-year comparable figures are not available. This metric is supplemental and is not used to track progress against Corteva’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 goals.
The Scope 1 and 2 emissions calculations are rounded to the nearest thousand.
Scope 3 emissions
Type | Description | 2020 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Scope 3 | Scope 3 GHG emissions (MT CO2e) | 7,047,000 | 6,190,000 | 5,451,000 | 6,122,000 |
Gases included in the calculation | CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, and NF3 | ||||
Base year | 2020 | ||||
Consolidation approach | Emissions are presented by Scope 3 Category in alignment with the GHG Protocol: Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard. The emission sources included in Corteva’s current Scope 3 GHG inventory include Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9. | ||||
Greenhouse gas emissions data and net sales for the period ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 utilized in the intensity calculation excludes the impact from the biologicals acquisitions. The Scope 3 emissions calculation is rounded to the nearest thousand. | |||||
