Stratasys sets four 2030 targets for emissions, water, waste and safety

Stratasys has published its fifth ESG and Sustainability Report, dated November 4, 2026, with four company-wide goals for 2030: 40% lower Scope 1 and 2 emissions, 15% less water use, at least 55% of non-hazardous waste kept out of disposal, and a lower injury rate. The report also includes the company's first climate risk analysis following TCFD guidance. It gives additive manufacturing buyers a dated baseline to measure supplier claims against.

Context Scope 1 and 2 cover a company's direct emissions and those from purchased energy, while Scope 3 covers emissions elsewhere in the value chain.

What are the four 2030 targets?

Stratasys aims to cut Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 40% and water consumption by 15% by 2030. It also wants at least 55% of non-hazardous waste to go to reuse, recycling or energy recovery, and an injury rate (TRIR) under 0.40. The goals cover the whole company and continue the Mindful Manufacturing strategy. The 2025 emissions data was checked by an outside party with limited assurance, and the report adds the company's first TCFD-aligned climate risk analysis.

Where does the company stand today?

In 2025, Scope 1 and 2 emissions fell 6.2% and value-chain emissions intensity fell 11.9%. Water use dropped 3.6%. Waste diversion reached 40%, well below the 55% goal, and the injury rate was 0.5, above the 0.40 target. The company also recycled or reconditioned 357,000 kg of product materials.

Scope 3 makes up 92% of the company's full value-chain footprint of 188,843 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, which the 2030 targets do not directly address. Stratasys also reported an EcoVadis Gold Medal, 26,429 training hours and 41% women among management hires.

How does this fit the wider industry?

Oerlikon has pledged operational climate neutrality by the end of the decade. Roland Berger has called the sector's green claims superficial and asked for more life cycle assessments. EOS offers a cost and carbon calculator for metal parts, and ASTM International leads a $600K America Makes project on AM sustainability benefits.

What it means

For manufacturers adopting AM, supplier sustainability data is becoming a procurement input, especially where customers pass down emissions reporting requirements. Stratasys now offers dated, verified baselines, but the targets cover its own operations, not the 92% of emissions in Scope 3 or the per-part footprint. SMEs still need life cycle data per part and process to judge whether AM lowers emissions against machining or casting.

Frequently asked questions

What did Stratasys commit to for 2030?

A 40% cut in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, 15% lower water use, at least 55% of non-hazardous waste reused, recycled or recovered for energy, and an injury rate below 0.40.

Are the targets already met?

No. In 2025 waste diversion was 40% and the injury rate was 0.5, both short of the 2030 goals.

Do the targets cover Scope 3 emissions?

The four targets address Scope 1 and 2 emissions, water, waste and safety. Scope 3 makes up 92% of the measured value-chain footprint but has no stated reduction target in the report.
