Performance 2023
Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 and 2
Reduction of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions
We reduced our Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions by 9% year on year. With that, we have achieved a 51% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with the base year 2019. The goal is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2030. The climate target has been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and certified as being consistent with the 1.5-degrees target.
Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 3 upstream and downstream
CO₂ emissions in our upstream supply chain as well as from our products
In our upstream supply chain, greenhouse gas emissions are (following a change in the method of calculation) at the same level as in the previous year and up 24% from the base year. We were able to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the use phase of our products by 10% year on year, for a 7% reduction compared with the base year, and are therefore on target for 2030.
