Azelis

Azelis, a Belgian wholesaler of other chemical and allied products, reported its total greenhouse gas emissions for 2025 as approximately 4.755 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 7.482 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3.421 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 4.744 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (approximately 4.327 billion kg CO2e) and end-of-life treatment of sold products (about 299.954 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, Azelis's total emissions in 2024 were approximately 4.824 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at roughly 9.62 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at around 3.501 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 4.811 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions stood at approximately 5.449 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 8.906 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, 4.983 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and 5.435 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Azelis has set ambitious climate commitments and reduction targets. The company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. Azelis also aims for a 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions (excluding category 3.1) by 2030, against a 2022 baseline. Furthermore, Azelis commits that 75% of its suppliers by emissions covering purchased goods and services will have science-based targets by 2030.

Earlier commitments include a target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon intensity by 25% by 2025 and 50% by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. The company's 2024 reporting also reiterates a goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030 through energy efficiency programmes and switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
