Climate Change and Carbon Emissions

As a global business, we recognize the role we can play in helping to combat climate change. We are committed to taking significant steps forward to measure and make reductions on the emissions stemming from our operations (Scope 1 and Scope 2) and within our entire value chain (Scope 3).

Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions

While our Scope 1 and 2 emissions are a small portion of our carbon footprint, we are committed to achieving emissions reductions in activities that fall within the realm of our direct control.

Scope 3 Emissions and CDP Climate Reporting

We completed our 2022 Scope 3 emissions baseline assessment, which gave us full visibility into our carbon footprint. Through cross-functional workshops, we used this data and our Scope 1 and 2 baseline to identify the most meaningful opportunities to reduce our emissions and set our near-term (2035) science-based targets.

We have reported several categories of our indirect emissions (Scope 3) to CDP since the mid-2000s (as part of L Brands until 2021) and have now expanded measurement to all relevant Scope 3 emissions categories.

Science-Based Emission Reduction Targets

In July 2025, we had our near-term science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). 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.

These new near-term science-based GHG emissions reduction targets will replace the emissions targets we previously set. To learn more about our climate change journey, please visit our most recent Sustainability & Impact Reports.

Our First LEED Silver Certified Retail Store

In 2023, we opened the doors to our first LEED Silver certified store — our Hamilton Quarter location in New Albany, Ohio. The store’s sustainability features include water-efficiency technology (including low flow and censored fixtures) and energy efficiency technology (like energy management systems that monitor and control HVAC and lighting remotely to allow better insights and management of energy efficiency). In addition to the store’s sustainability features, the construction process itself was done with an eye toward reducing environmental impact. During the construction process, the team recycled over 95% of construction waste and used low-emitting materials. The work we did to obtain this LEED certification is now embedded in our standards, which are key to our design, development and plans for the next phase of stores. We are working with sustainability experts to help us incorporate additional sustainability elements as we aim to achieve a higher LEED certification in future projects.
