Ahlstrom

Ahlstrom, a paper and paper products company headquartered in Finland, has set ambitious climate goals. For the 2025 reporting year, the company reported total emissions of approximately 4.03 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 1.08 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 379 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 2.57 billion kg CO2e.

Ahlstrom is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions in line with climate science. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2021 as a baseline year. This target is aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative's (SBTi) 1.5°C pathway. Furthermore, Ahlstrom has committed to a long-term goal of reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and specified Scope 3 emissions (purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, processing of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products) by 90% from the 2021 baseline by 2050. The company also aims to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

In addition to these overarching goals, Ahlstrom has specific targets for certain Scope 3 categories, aiming for a 25% reduction in upstream transportation and distribution emissions by 2030, also from a 2021 base year. The company's climate commitments are further underscored by its involvement with the SBTi, with validated targets for scopes 1, 2, and 3, and a commitment to net-zero by 2050.
