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.
British American Tobacco belongs to the sector Consumer Staples.

Science-based Targets (SBTI)
Date Published / Updated :2025-03-06 01:00:00
| Near-term | Long-Term | Net Zero Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Targets set : 1.5°C by FY2030 | Targets set : 1.5°C by FY2050 | Targets set by FY2050 |
Overall Net-Zero Target: British American Tobacco (BAT) commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by FY2050. Near-Term Targets: British American Tobacco commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year.* British American Tobacco also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products 42% within the same timeframe.* British American Tobacco further commits that 20% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by FY2025.
*The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks. British American Tobacco commits to reduce absolute scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions 30.3% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year.* British American Tobacco also commits to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities, with a target date of December, 2025.
*The target includes FLAG emissions and removals.
Long-Term Targets: British American Tobacco commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by FY2050 from a FY2020 base year.* British American Tobacco also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, end-of-life treatment of sold products, and investments 90% within the same timeframe.*
*The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks. British American Tobacco commits to reduce absolute scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions 72% by FY2050 from a FY2020 base year. *
