Dsv's reported carbon emissions
DSV, a global transport and logistics company headquartered in Denmark, is actively engaged in reducing its carbon footprint. For the reporting year 2025, DSV reported approximately 19.6 billion kg CO2e in total emissions. This figure is comprised of approximately 362 million kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, about 215 million kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and approximately 19 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. Within Scope 3, upstream transportation and distribution accounted for the largest portion, with about 18.3 billion kg CO2e.
In 2024, total emissions were approximately 13.8 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 202 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at around 167 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 13.4 billion kg CO2e, predominantly from upstream transportation and distribution. The previous year, 2023, saw total emissions of about 12.6 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at approximately 220 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at around 193 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 12.2 billion kg CO2e, again with upstream transportation and distribution being the largest contributor.
DSV has set ambitious climate commitments, including a long-term goal to reach net-zero emissions across all operational scopes by 2050. This overarching goal is supported by nearer-term targets. Notably, DSV aims for an 8% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 and a significant 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, all from a 2019 baseline. Furthermore, the company is committed to a 30% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, focusing on upstream transportation and distribution, and business travel. DSV's commitment to Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) further underpins these efforts, with targets aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
