Bang And Olufsen's reported carbon emissions

Bang & Olufsen, headquartered in DK, has outlined ambitious climate commitments. The company has set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by Fiscal Year (FY) 2039. In the near term, Bang & Olufsen is committed to a significant reduction in its operational emissions. They aim to cut absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90% by FY2028, using FY2021 as the base year. Furthermore, the company plans to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 37.8% by FY2029, also from a FY2021 baseline. Looking further ahead, Bang & Olufsen aims to maintain at least a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from FY2028 through FY2039, relative to the FY2021 baseline. Their long-term vision includes a substantial reduction of 90% in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by FY2039, again compared to the FY2021 base year. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and align with a 1.5°C warming trajectory. For the reporting year 2025, Bang & Olufsen reported approximately 115,374,000 kg CO2e in total emissions. Of this, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 190,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 183,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions accounted for the vast majority, at approximately 115,191,000 kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services (approximately 58,021,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 40,714,000 kg CO2e) being the largest contributors. In 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 132,552,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 293,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) around 455,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions around 131,804,000 kg CO2e. Purchased goods and services were the largest component of Scope 3 emissions, at approximately 81,198,000 kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions were approximately 139,174,000 kg CO2e. This comprised around 539,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 409,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and about 138,226,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, with purchased goods and services being the most significant category at approximately 85,110,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 194,685,000 kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of about 1,212,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 5,057,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 188,416,000 kg CO2e. Purchased goods and services formed the largest part of Scope 3 emissions at around 91,512,000 kg CO2e. Historical data shows total emissions of approximately 13,917,400 tonnes CO2e in 2023, 132,552,000 kg CO2e in 2024, and 115,374,000 kg CO2e in 2025.
