Alfa Laval's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Alfa Laval reported significant carbon emissions, with a total of approximately 44,554,244,000 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 3 emissions. This figure highlights the company's substantial indirect emissions, which are critical in understanding its overall carbon footprint. Looking at previous years, Alfa Laval's total emissions have shown a downward trend from approximately 155,092,000 kg CO2e in 2015 to about 65,278,000 kg CO2e in 2021. This reduction is primarily due to decreases in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which were approximately 18,735,000 kg CO2e and 9,723,000 kg CO2e in 2021, respectively. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Alfa Laval, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term climate strategy. Overall, while Alfa Laval has made progress in reducing its emissions, particularly in direct and energy-related emissions, the focus on Scope 3 emissions remains crucial for future sustainability efforts.
