Carlsberg

In 2024, Carlsberg reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,220,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 331,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 57,000,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 7,832,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on upstream activities, particularly in purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 5,020,000,000 kg CO2e. Carlsberg has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net zero emissions from its beverage production by 2030. This target includes a 90% reduction in total gross greenhouse gas emissions from a 2015 baseline, allowing for the offset of up to 10% of hard-to-abate emissions with carbon credits. Additionally, the company has interim targets to halve emissions per hectolitre of production from its breweries between 2015 and 2022, and to reduce beer-in-hand value chain emissions by 30% by 2030. In 2023, Carlsberg's total emissions were reported at approximately 5,190,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined at about 308,000,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a commitment to reducing emissions across all scopes, with specific targets for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, aiming for a 92% reduction by 2030. Overall, Carlsberg's climate strategy is focused on significant reductions in emissions intensity and total emissions, aligning with industry standards for sustainability and climate action.
