This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 23,403,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were minimal at about 1,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for the majority at approximately 1,796,299,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Lego's emissions have shown a trend of increase, with total emissions rising from about 1,530,396,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to the current figure in 2023. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any other climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised commitments to reduce emissions at this time. Lego's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass the entire value chain, including production and product use. As the company continues to navigate its climate commitments, the focus on reducing these emissions will be crucial for achieving sustainability goals.
