Kemira Oyj

Kemira Oyj, a chemicals company headquartered in Finland, has set ambitious climate targets. For 2025, the company reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 2.24 billion kg CO2e. This total is comprised of approximately 129.38 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 379.85 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions. Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, at approximately 1.73 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for the largest portion at roughly 1.55 billion kg CO2e.

In 2024, Kemira Oyj's total emissions were approximately 2.48 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 118.36 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at approximately 477.94 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 1.88 billion kg CO2e.

Kemira has a near-term target to reduce its combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2018 baseline of 930,000 tonnes of CO2e. This target is aligned with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and necessitates an annual linear reduction rate of 4.2%. The company also has a Scope 3 target to reduce emissions from purchased goods and services, as well as upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, by 32.5% by 2033, based on a 2021 baseline.

Looking further ahead, Kemira's long-term ambition is to achieve carbon neutrality for its combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. The company continually evaluates this goal in response to global legislation, its own strategy, and advancements in climate science.
