**Atlas Copco's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments** Atlas Copco, a machinery and equipment manufacturer headquartered in Sweden, has reported significant carbon emissions and outlined robust climate commitments. **Emissions Performance:** * **2025:** Atlas Copco recorded total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 216.7 billion kg CO2e. This comprised about 83 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 (direct emissions), approximately 18 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and a substantial 216.6 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 (value chain emissions). * **2024:** Total emissions stood at approximately 228.8 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 86 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at about 24 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 228.7 billion kg CO2e. * **2023:** The company reported total emissions of approximately 254.1 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 87 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) approximately 31 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled about 254.0 billion kg CO2e. * **2022:** Total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 128 million kg CO2e (market-based), with Scope 1 around 92 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at about 36 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for use of sold products were approximately 225.2 billion kg CO2e. * **2021:** Total emissions were approximately 179.4 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 79 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) were 56 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions amounted to approximately 179.4 billion kg CO2e. * **2020:** Total emissions were approximately 172.3 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 75 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) were 83 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 172.3 billion kg CO2e. * **2019:** Total emissions were approximately 199.2 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 97 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at 92 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 199.2 billion kg CO2e. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** Atlas Copco is committed to ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets. They have committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46% by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. Furthermore, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 28% over the same timeframe. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are considered consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The company also aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Historically, they had targets such as reducing CO2 emissions from energy in operations and transport of goods by 20% by 2020 (relative to cost of sales) and achieving near-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025. Atlas Copco's reporting indicates they are on track for their Scope 2 near-term targets.
