Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
Alfa Laval, headquartered in Sweden, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 74.17 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes Scope 1 emissions of 13.6 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of 4.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 74.15 billion kg CO2e. The majority of Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were from the use of sold products, totalling approximately 72.05 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at approximately 1.87 billion kg CO2e.
Looking back, in 2024, total emissions were approximately 79.50 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 14.2 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 at 5.0 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 79.48 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions were around 45.63 billion kg CO2e, comprising 17.64 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, 6.46 million kg CO2e for market-based Scope 2, and about 45.60 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3.
Alfa Laval has set ambitious climate commitments. They aim to be carbon neutral for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. Furthermore, they are committed to a near-term Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 95% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. They also target a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. Alfa Laval also aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain by 2050, from a 2020 baseline. As part of this, they commit to maintaining at least 95% absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emission reductions from 2030 through 2050, and to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 95% by 2050.
The company has already made progress on its targets, having reduced operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 52% since 2020, achieving their 2023 target. They also aim to increase annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 80% in 2020 to 100% by 2030.
