Atlas Copco

Atlas Copco, headquartered in Sweden and operating in the machinery and equipment sector, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions.

For the reporting year 2025, Atlas Copco reported substantial greenhouse gas emissions. The total emissions, encompassing Scope 1, 2, and 3, were approximately 215.2 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 83 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 18 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 214.4 billion kg CO2e. Specifically, Scope 3 emissions were driven by the use of sold products (approximately 211.99 billion kg CO2e), downstream leased assets (about 1.75 billion kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (approximately 2.46 billion kg CO2e).

Looking at previous years, total emissions for 2024 were approximately 227.3 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 86 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at around 24 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 227.2 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions were approximately 253.5 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 87 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 31 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 253.4 billion kg CO2e.

Atlas Copco has set ambitious climate targets, aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 46% by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. Furthermore, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 28% over the same timeframe. These targets are designed to be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Atlas Copco also has a long-term ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Some previous targets included reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by 2025.
