eBay has released its inaugural climate transition plan, a roadmap detailing how the company will advance sustainable commerce, reduce emissions across its operations and value chain, and achieve its long-term climate commitments.

“At eBay, we believe the future of commerce and the future of our planet are deeply connected,” said Renee Morin, eBay’s chief sustainability officer. “Building on our recommerce legacy, our climate transition plan showcases how we will achieve net-zero emissions by 2045 while supporting a low-carbon economy. It reflects eBay’s long-standing commitment to climate resiliency, creating enduring value for our customers and community.”

The plan outlines progress and future actions across key focus areas including advancing sustainable commerce through a circular marketplace model that extends product life and reduces waste, a clear path to net-zero with a science-aligned pathway to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, embedding climate into governance and planning, and working across its value chain, particularly in transportation and logistics.

In addition to the 2045 target, objective targets include a 92 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from a 2019 baseline and achievement of 100 per cent renewable electricity across operations.
