Solventum Climate Goals

May 29, 2026 | Read time: 3 min

Our global partnerships are a key element to us delivering our mission to enable better, smarter, safer healthcare to improve lives. We have committed to the following science-based targets covering reductions in Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across near-term and long-term time horizons1. 

  • Solventum commits to reaching net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050. We commit to reducing absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions 90% by 2050 from a 2021 baseline.2

  • By 2030, Solventum commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based GHG emissions by 54.4% from a 2021 baseline (aligned to a 1.5°C temperature increase). As part of this target, we have an existing commitment to use 100% renewable electricity across worldwide operations by 2030.

  • By 2030, Solventum commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions3 by 22.5% from a 2021 baseline and enabling suppliers covering 60% of emissions from purchased goods and services (Category 1) to set science-based targets (aligned to 2°C temperature increase).

In line with our commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, Solventum will submit its GHG emission reduction targets to the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) to be validated . The SBTi is a partnership between CDP, the UN Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). SBTi defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting, offers resources and guidance to reduce barriers to adoption and independently assesses and approves companies' targets.

For more information, read our 2025 Sustainability and Social Impact Report.

1 In 2025, Solventum sold our Purification & Filtration business, triggering a recalculation of the company’s 2021 base year GHG emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2 location-based, Scope 2 market-based and all reported categories of Scope 3). In updating base year GHG emissions, we have also adjusted our 2030 climate targets accordingly.  

2Solventum uses 2021 as a baseline year for our GHG emissions because this baseline accurately reflects the operations that comprised Solventum upon separation from 3M. We follow the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard: Revised Edition as amended by the Scope 2 Guidance in recognition that divested businesses may have climate impact prior to becoming their own entity.

3 Scope 3 absolute reduction goal includes Category 3: fuel and energy-related activities; Category 4: upstream transportation; Category 7: employee commuting; Category 9: downstream transportation; Category 11: use of sold products; and Category 12: end-of-life treatment of sold products as defined by the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard and supplemented by the Technical Guidance for Calculating Scope 3 Emissions.
