Kion's reported carbon emissions

Kion Group AG, headquartered in Germany and operating in real estate services, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. For the reporting year 2025, the company reported total global GHG emissions of approximately 21.3 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 90.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of around 31 million kg CO2e. A significant portion of their emissions, approximately 17.6 billion kg CO2e, falls under Scope 3, specifically related to the use of sold products. Kion's emissions for the 2024 reporting year were approximately 16.2 billion kg CO2e in total. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 108.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 38.2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 16 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, their total global emissions were approximately 17.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 110.8 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions at approximately 35.3 million kg CO2e. Kion has established ambitious climate targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). They aim for a 30% reduction in energy-related emissions (Scope 1, 2, and to an extent, 3) by 2027, using 2019 as a baseline year. Furthermore, Kion is pursuing a path to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by no later than 2050. This long-term goal is supported by near-term targets, including an absolute reduction of 42% in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, based on a 2021 baseline. They also aim for a 25% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products and downstream leased assets by 2030. Additionally, Kion is working towards ensuring that 5% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, have science-based targets by 2029.
