In 2024, Danfoss reported total carbon emissions of approximately 124,240,079,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across all three scopes: 130,742,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 216,002,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and a significant 123,893,335,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). This data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. Danfoss has set ambitious reduction targets, committing to a 46.2% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. Additionally, the company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 3 emissions by 15% within the same timeframe. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are designed to support global efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. The company also aims to halve the CO2 intensity of energy used and the energy intensity of its operations by 2030, compared to a 2007 baseline. This dual focus on intensity reduction further underscores Danfoss's commitment to sustainability and climate action. Overall, Danfoss's climate commitments reflect a proactive approach to managing carbon emissions and contributing to a more sustainable future, with a clear focus on measurable targets across all scopes of emissions.
