Kuehne Plus Nagel's reported carbon emissions

Kuehne+Nagel, a leading global sea and coastal water transportation services provider headquartered in Switzerland, is actively engaged in reducing its carbon emissions and pursuing ambitious climate goals. **Emissions Data:** For the reporting year 2025, Kuehne+Nagel reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 15.91 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses: * **Scope 1 emissions:** Approximately 155 million kg CO2e. * **Scope 2 emissions:** Approximately 127 million kg CO2e (location-based). * **Scope 3 emissions:** Approximately 15.73 billion kg CO2e, with upstream transportation and distribution accounting for the largest portion at approximately 15.56 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, total emissions were approximately 15.32 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 142 million kg CO2e and Scope 3 at approximately 15.17 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions were approximately 14.65 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of approximately 180 million kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 14.37 billion kg CO2e. Earlier reported figures include: * 2022: Total emissions of approximately 16.19 billion kg CO2e. * 2021: Total emissions of approximately 16.56 billion kg CO2e. * 2020: Total emissions of approximately 13.48 billion kg CO2e. * 2019: Total emissions of approximately 18.22 billion kg CO2e. * 2018: Total emissions of approximately 19.03 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at approximately 314 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 18.7 billion kg CO2e. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** Kuehne+Nagel has set robust climate targets, aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company is committed to: * **Net-Zero by 2050:** An overarching ambition to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain by 2050. * **Absolute Emissions Reduction:** A near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 33% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. This includes a significant reduction of 5.5 million tonnes of CO2e in their value chain. * **Scope 1 and 2 Reductions:** Specific targets include a 42.0% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2024 base year. There are also long-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050. Further intensity targets for buildings' operational emissions aim for a 46.0% reduction per m2 by 2030 and a 95.0% reduction per m2 by 2050. * **Scope 3 Reductions:** The company is also focusing on reducing Scope 3 emissions, with specific commitments for upstream transportation and distribution. This includes a 17.0% reduction per tonne-nautical mile (t.nm) for container operations by 2030, a 22.0% reduction per tonne-kilometre (tkm) for heavy road freight by 2030, and a 17.0% reduction per revenue-tonne-kilometre (RTK) for jet fuel by 2030. Long-term intensity targets for upstream transportation and distribution include reductions of 97.0% per t.nm for maritime services, 97.0% per RTK for aviation services, and 97.0% per tkm for land transport services by 2050. These commitments demonstrate Kuehne+Nagel's dedication to environmental stewardship within the sea and coastal water transportation services sector.
