Electrolux

Electrolux, headquartered in Sweden and operating in the Furniture; other manufactured goods n.e.c. (36) industry, has reported significant progress and ambitious targets regarding its carbon emissions.

For the year 2024, Electrolux reported a total of approximately 44.6 billion kg CO2e. This includes scope 1 emissions of about 51 million kg CO2e, scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 15 million kg CO2e, and scope 3 emissions totalling around 44.5 billion kg CO2e. The company also reported scope 2 emissions on a location-based method, which amounted to approximately 165 million kg CO2e.

In 2023, Electrolux's total emissions were approximately 45.0 billion kg CO2e, comprising scope 1 emissions of about 61 million kg CO2e, scope 2 (market-based) emissions of approximately 8 million kg CO2e, and scope 3 emissions of approximately 44.9 billion kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions on a location-based method were around 173 million kg CO2e.

Electrolux is committed to ambitious climate action, aiming for significant emissions reductions. The company has set a near-term target to reduce its operational emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 85% by 2030, using 2021 as a baseline year. Furthermore, Electrolux aims to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions across various categories, including purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and the use of sold products, by 42% within the same timeframe.

The company's long-term ambition is to achieve net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. This includes a commitment to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2033, from a 2021 baseline, and to maintain at least a 90% reduction in absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from 2033 through 2050. Additionally, Electrolux has a long-term target to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, also from a 2021 base year. These targets are aligned with a 1.5°C pathway.

Previously, Electrolux had set targets to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 80% between 2015 and 2025, and a 25% reduction in absolute scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products during the same period. For 2022, the company reported scope 1 and 2 emissions totalling approximately 83 million kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions were around 54.4 billion kg CO2e, with scope 1 at about 83 million kg CO2e, scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 20 million kg CO2e, and scope 3 at around 54.3 billion kg CO2e.

Electrolux's greenhouse gas intensity per net revenue was reported as 0.329 for 2024 and 0.336 for 2023, measured in kg CO2e per SEK.
