Austevoll Seafood's reported carbon emissions

In 2025, Austevoll Seafood reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3.08 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 302.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 92.8 million kg CO2e (market-based), and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 2.69 billion kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown includes categories such as purchased goods and services (approximately 942.9 million kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (about 631 million kg CO2e). In 2024, the company’s total emissions were approximately 3.19 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 265.3 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 107.6 million kg CO2e (market-based). The Scope 3 emissions for that year also represented a substantial portion of the total, indicating ongoing challenges in reducing indirect emissions. For 2023, Austevoll Seafood's total emissions were reported at approximately 2.04 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of about 248.2 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 90.2 million kg CO2e (market-based). The Scope 3 emissions were significant, particularly in the purchased goods and services category, which accounted for around 1.09 billion kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Austevoll Seafood has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates as a current subsidiary of Austevoll Seafood ASA, inheriting emissions data and performance metrics from its parent organisation. Overall, Austevoll Seafood's emissions data reflects the complexities of managing carbon footprints in the seafood industry, particularly in relation to Scope 3 emissions, which often present the greatest challenge for reduction efforts.
