Louis Poulsen, a Danish company operating in retail trade services, has disclosed its carbon emissions data for recent years. The company's total global emissions for 2024 were approximately 33,036,000 kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of around 926,000 kg CO2e and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 32,069,000 kg CO2e. The most substantial contributors to their Scope 3 emissions in 2024 were the use of sold products (approximately 18,962,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 8,067,000 kg CO2e).

In 2023, Louis Poulsen reported total global emissions of approximately 27,874,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions for that year were approximately 1,050,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at approximately 26,675,000 kg CO2e. The use of sold products was again the largest Scope 3 category, at approximately 15,968,000 kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at approximately 5,029,000 kg CO2e.

The company's total emissions in 2022 were approximately 39,533,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions for 2022 were around 902,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 38,350,000 kg CO2e, heavily influenced by the use of sold products (approximately 23,129,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 6,964,000 kg CO2e).

For 2021, Louis Poulsen reported total global emissions of approximately 21,143,000 kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of about 1,055,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 227,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2021 were approximately 19,861,000 kg CO2e, with upstream transportation and distribution being a significant factor at approximately 16,064,000 kg CO2e.

The data indicates a general trend of fluctuating total emissions over the reported years, with Scope 3 emissions consistently representing the largest portion. While specific reduction targets are not detailed in the provided information, Louis Poulsen does report on key performance indicators such as Scope 1 and 2 emissions per FTE and per revenue, which can inform their sustainability efforts.
