This included Scope 1 emissions of about 20,385,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1,724,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 238,558,000 kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 categories included purchased goods and services (169,123,000 kg CO2e), use of sold products (37,946,000 kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (31,489,000 kg CO2e).

In 2023, Arjo's total emissions were approximately 235,866,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of 21,388,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of 2,750,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 211,728,000 kg CO2e. For 2022, total emissions were about 279,589,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 23,821,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 3,791,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 251,977,000 kg CO2e.

Arjo has set near-term absolute reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2021 as the base year. Additionally, Arjo aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and use of sold products by 25% within the same timeframe, also with a 2021 base year. These targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
