Kemira Oyj, a chemicals company headquartered in Finland, has outlined ambitious climate targets and reported its greenhouse gas emissions. For the reporting year 2025, Kemira Oyj reported a total of approximately 2.24 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of approximately 129.38 million kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, approximately 379.85 million kg CO2e in Scope 2 (market-based) emissions, and approximately 1.73 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions are dominated by purchased goods and services, accounting for approximately 1.55 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, Kemira Oyj's total emissions were approximately 2.48 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 118.36 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 477.94 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 1.88 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the company reported total emissions of approximately 2.53 billion kg CO2e, including approximately 118.56 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 548.02 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based).

The company has set a near-term target to reduce its combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to a 2018 baseline of approximately 930 thousand metric tons of CO2e. This commitment represents an absolute contraction approach, aiming for an annual linear reduction rate of 4.2%. Furthermore, Kemira Oyj has set a Scope 3 emissions reduction target of 32.5% by 2033 for purchased goods and services and upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, using a 2021 baseline. Looking ahead, Kemira Oyj's long-term ambition is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 for its combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based GHG emissions. The company aims to continuously evaluate this goal in response to global legislation, its own strategy, and advances in climate science.
