Whirlpool Corporation has published its 2025 Corporate Responsibility Impact Report, revealing a new suite of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The updated roadmap includes a commitment to reach net zero by 2050, supported by near-term milestones for appliance efficiency and operational decarbonisation.
According to the report, the company reduced its Scope 1 and 2 market-based emissions by 6% over the past year, marking a 57% decrease since 2021. This progress was largely driven by renewable energy procurement, which now matches 80% of the electricity consumed across Whirlpool’s global operations. In its value chain, the manufacturer launched more than 100 energy-efficient products globally and initiated a certified refurbished pilot programme in the United States.
“Sustainability remains core to our company’s future,” said Marc Bitzer, Chairman and CEO of Whirlpool Corporation. “In 2025, we made meaningful progress lowering emissions across our operations and delivering innovative, efficient products that help families save money and use less energy and water every day.”
The newly validated targets, measured against a 2021 baseline, require Whirlpool to reduce its operational emissions by 65% by 2030. The company also aims for a 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions—specifically those generated by the use of sold products—within the same timeframe. By 2050, the goal is to reduce Scope 1, 2, and key Scope 3 emissions by 90%.
Beat Stocker, Senior Director of Global Sustainability, stated that the updated targets “align with the latest science and build on our progress to enable practical, business-balanced emissions reductions across our operations, products and supply chain.”
Beyond internal operations, the report highlighted Whirlpool’s ongoing partnership with Habitat for Humanity, with plans to complete 50 net-zero-energy-ready homes by the end of 2026. The company intends to meet its long-term objectives through continued investment in product innovation and intensified supplier engagement.
