Net Zero by 2040. We embarked on this journey over four years ago, and on this Earth Day, we are reinforcing that we can grow the digital economy while reducing our emissions. How are we progressing toward our goal? As of 2025, Mastercard has: 📉 Reduced our combined scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 46% from 2016 ✅ Achieved and exceeded our interim emissions targets, reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 location-based emissions by 44% (target was 38%) and Scope 3 by 46% (target was 20%) from 2016 levels. 3️⃣ Marked our third year in a row seeing signs of decoupling emissions from business growth. While there is still work to be done on our path to net zero, these milestones underscore an important shift: preserving the planet is not a parallel effort to business growth — it is embedded in how we grow. This Earth Day, we are proud to recognize how far we’ve come while staying focused on what it will take to reach our 2040 net zero commitment.
