Arla's reported carbon emissions

Arla Foods, a prominent dairy products company headquartered in Denmark, reported its total carbon emissions for 2025 to be approximately 25.1 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. In the preceding year, 2024, Arla's total emissions were approximately 24.2 billion kg CO2e.

The company has established ambitious climate commitments, including a long-term goal to achieve carbon net zero by 2050 across its entire value chain. Arla is committed to the 1.5°C climate ambition and is working towards its 2030 emission reduction targets.

Specifically, Arla Foods has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 63% by 2030, using 2015 as a baseline year. This target is aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C and is calculated using a market-based approach, including land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks. For Scope 3 emissions, Arla has updated its targets to align with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) emissions guideline. This commitment involves reducing absolute Scope 3 FLAG emissions by 30.3% by 2030, with a 2020 baseline year.

Furthermore, Arla set a target to use 100% green electricity in Europe by the end of 2025. The company also aims to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 30% per kilogram of raw milk and whey by 2030, from a 2015 baseline.
