Hapag-Lloyd, a deep-sea freight transportation company headquartered in Germany, has reported significant carbon emissions and established ambitious climate commitments.

For the year 2025, Hapag-Lloyd reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 33.9 billion kg CO2e. This total comprises approximately 16.1 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, and approximately 17.9 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. Scope 2 emissions were approximately 20.6 million kg CO2e (location-based).

In 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 36.3 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 accounting for approximately 15.3 billion kg CO2e and Scope 3 for approximately 21.0 billion kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions were approximately 21.1 million kg CO2e (location-based).

Hapag-Lloyd has set a target to reduce the carbon intensity of its entire fleet by 30% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. Furthermore, the company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for its entire fleet by 2045. An earlier commitment aimed to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2050, compared to 2008.

For the year 2025, upstream transportation and distribution represented the largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions at approximately 11.1 billion kg CO2e, followed by capital goods at approximately 3.4 billion kg CO2e, and fuel and energy-related activities at approximately 2.9 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, upstream transportation and distribution accounted for approximately 10.2 billion kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions, and capital goods for approximately 7.7 billion kg CO2e.

While specific emissions data for 2023 and prior years is not fully disclosed in the provided data, the company has reported production emission factors, such as the AER (Well-to-Wake Average Efficiency Ratio), indicating a focus on efficiency improvements over time.
