The Scope 3 emissions primarily stem from the use of sold products, accounting for about 5,709,000,000 kg CO2e. Epiroc has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2019 levels as a baseline. This target is validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflects the company's commitment to align with the 1.5°C climate goal. Additionally, Epiroc plans to halve Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products over the same timeframe. The company’s long-term vision includes achieving net-zero CO2e emissions by 2050, further reinforcing its dedication to sustainability and climate action. Epiroc's initiatives are crucial in the context of the electrical equipment and machinery sector, where reducing carbon footprints is increasingly vital for compliance and corporate responsibility.
