Dfds's reported carbon emissions

DFDS, a sea and coastal water transportation services company headquartered in Denmark, is committed to reducing its climate impact. For the year 2025, DFDS reported total emissions of approximately 3.7 billion kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 (about 2.5 billion kg CO2e), Scope 2 (approximately 14 million kg CO2e market-based), and Scope 3 (around 1.2 billion kg CO2e). This includes significant contributions from fuel and energy-related activities (approximately 484 million kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (about 434 million kg CO2e).

In 2024, total emissions were approximately 3.9 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 accounting for about 2.6 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 15 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions for that year were around 1.2 billion kg CO2e, with fuel and energy-related activities and upstream transportation and distribution being notable contributors.

DFDS has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims for a 45% reduction in CO2 emissions intensity per GT mile by 2030, using a 2008 baseline. Furthermore, DFDS is targeting carbon neutrality by 2050 for its vessel operations and a 75% reduction in CO2e emissions intensity for road and land transport and warehousing by 2030, also aiming for net-zero by 2050 in these areas. The company is listed as 'Committed' to net-zero emissions, with a target year to be determined.
