Bath & Body Works Strengthens Climate Commitment with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Validation
Today, Bath & Body Works, Inc. recently announced that it has had its near-term science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a globally recognized authority on corporate climate action.
Bath & Body Works commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 63% by 2035 from a 2022 base year. Bath & Body Works also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 63% within the same timeframe.
The SBTi is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis. SBTi develops standards, tools and guidance which allow companies to set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions targets in line with what is needed to keep global heating below catastrophic levels and reach net-zero by 2050. With this guidance, Bath & Body Works is taking meaningful steps to reduce its environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.
In 2024, Bath & Body Works completed its 2022 Scope 3 emissions baseline assessment, which gave visibility into the full extent of its carbon footprint and paved the way to set these near-term (2035) science-based targets. These goals were submitted for validation in March 2025 and officially approved in July 2025.
“We are very proud of this milestone and what opportunities this unlocks to help combat climate change and address our company’s environmental footprint,” says Jeff King, Group Vice President and Head of ESG. “The journey ahead will be complex and challenging, but we are ready to take action and work together with our associates and partners in our value chain to protect the planet.”
These new science-based targets replace the company’s previous emissions goals and reflect an ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability and progress.
