Sector Benchmark
Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.
GSK plc belongs to the sector Health Care.

Science-based Targets (SBTI)
Date Published / Updated :01/11/2023
| Near-term | Long-Term | Net Zero Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Targets Set : 1.5°C by 2030 | Targets Set : 1.5°C by 2045 | Yes by 2045 |
GSK plc is a member of the Business Ambition for 1.5 campaign (link here )
Overall Net-Zero Target
GSK commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2045
from a 2020 base year.
Near-Term Targets
GSK commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 80% by 2030 from a 2020
base year.* GSK also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased
goods and services, fuel and energy related activities, upstream transportation and
distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, use of
sold products and end of life treatment of sold products 80% within the same timeframe.
*The target boundary includes biogenic land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks
Long-Term Targets
GSK commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by 2045 from a 2020
base year.* GSK also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased
goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, use of sold products, end of life treatment of sold products and investments 90% within the same timeframe.
*The target boundary includes biogenic land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks
Offsets
Last update for GlaxoSmithKline by zerotracker.net: Sept. 4, 2024| Planning to use external offset credits | Yes |
| Separate targets for emission reductions and removals | No |
| Conditions on use of offset credits |
|
| Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) | No |
Additional notes: Offsets: 'we are investing in high quality nature protection and restoration projects that support our net-zero and nature positive goals, and deliver co-benefits to human health....We plan to secure carbon credits for the 20% emissions we estimate to have as residual in 2030, and for a maximum of 10% residual emissions by 2045. We aim to secure all of the credits for the 2030 target through nature investments by 2028. These credits will be issued later in the decade and will be retired against our 2030 residual emissions and onwards, yearly....For our 2030 target we are prioritizing carbon removal credits, but we will also secure a proportion of carbon avoidance and reductions credits in recognition of their critical role in conserving existing carbon stocks and protecting nature. For our 2045 Net Zero target, we will aim to only secure carbon removal credits.' (p.4, Pathways to Net Zero on Climate Report)
