DSV, a Danish company in other land transportation services, reported total emissions of approximately 19.6 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 362 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 215 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 19.031 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The majority of Scope 3 emissions, approximately 18.297 billion kg CO2e, were attributed to upstream transportation and distribution, with business travel accounting for approximately 2 million kg CO2e.

In 2023, total emissions were around 12.6 billion kg CO2e, comprising approximately 220 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 193 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 12.187 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3, with upstream transportation and distribution being the largest contributor at about 11.734 billion kg CO2e.
DSV has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero emissions across its operations by 2050, aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards. For near-term reductions, DSV is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. Additionally, they target a 30% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from upstream transportation and distribution and business travel within the same timeframe. These targets are consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. Earlier near-term goals include an 8% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 from a 2019 base year. For the long term, DSV aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and relevant Scope 3 emissions (upstream transportation and distribution, and business travel) by 2050 from a 2019 base year.
