HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA

HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA, headquartered in Germany and operating in the sale, maintenance, and repair of motor vehicles and parts, reported total estimated emissions of approximately 13.2 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 28 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 3 million kg CO2e (market-based) from Scope 2, and around 12.88 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

For 2024, the company's total estimated emissions were about 13.67 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 30 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at around 132 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 13.51 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA reported total emissions of approximately 10.14 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 37.0 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, about 205.9 million kg CO2e (market-based) from Scope 2, and approximately 9.89 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Looking back to 2019, the company's total emissions were approximately 17.39 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 58 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at around 313 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 17.02 billion kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in overall emissions between 2019 and 2025.

HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA has established several climate commitments. The company aims for CO2-neutral production (Scope 1 and 2) by 2025. By the same year, they also target an 80% absolute reduction in carbon emissions from their own production, administration, and development sites with an area over 900 square metres (Scope 1 & 2 in reference to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol), with remaining unavoidable emissions offset by certified climate protection projects. Furthermore, by 2025, HELLA plans to exclusively source 100% of its electricity from renewable sources worldwide and reduce specific electricity intensity in production by 20% compared to a 2019 base year.

For Scope 3 emissions, HELLA aims to reduce them by 38% by 2030 (excluding Scope 3.11 use of sold products) compared to the 2019 base year. For upstream Scope 3 emissions, the company targets an 80% reduction in carbon emissions from suppliers by 2027, compared to 2019. The company has a long-term goal to achieve a climate-neutral supply chain by no later than 2050 and is aiming for net zero emissions along its entire value chain by 2045 at the latest.
