Carlsberg has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net zero emissions from its beverage production by 2030. This target allows for the offset of up to 10% of hard-to-abate emissions with carbon credits, necessitating a 90% reduction in total gross GHG emissions from its baseline year. Specifically, the company aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 92% from a 2015 baseline, supported by a 50% reduction target for 2022, which translates to a 46% reduction in total Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Additionally, Carlsberg is committed to reducing its beer-in-hand value chain GHG emissions (covering Scope 1, 2, and 3) by 30% by 2030, with an interim target of 15% reduction by 2022. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and demonstrate Carlsberg's commitment to sustainable practices within the food and beverage processing sector. Overall, Carlsberg's emissions data and climate commitments reflect a proactive stance towards achieving significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to global climate goals.
