Benteler's reported carbon emissions

Benteler, a German company operating in the motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers sector, is committed to reducing its carbon footprint. For the year 2024, Benteler reported total emissions of approximately 26.1 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of around 237.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 245.2 million kg CO2e (market-based), and substantial Scope 3 emissions amounting to about 25.6 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (approximately 8.1 billion kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (around 16.5 billion kg CO2e). In 2023, Benteler's total emissions were approximately 28.5 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at around 247.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 402.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 27.6 billion kg CO2e. Benteler has set ambitious climate targets, including a near-term goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. The company also aims to reduce upstream Scope 3 emissions by 30% by 2030. Looking further ahead, Benteler is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 for Scope 1, 2, and upstream Scope 3 emissions. Some divisions within the group are targeting CO₂ neutrality even earlier, by 2045. These targets are supported by ongoing initiatives to reduce emissions across their value chain.
