Mahle

MAHLE, a German company in the motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers industry, has reported its carbon emissions and set reduction targets.

In 2023, MAHLE's total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 823 million kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of approximately 186 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of approximately 637 million kg CO2e. The company also reported Scope 3 emissions of approximately 32.76 billion kg CO2e for 2023. This is composed of several categories, with use of sold products (approximately 24.24 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 7.26 billion kg CO2e) being the largest contributors.

Looking ahead, MAHLE has provided projected emissions data. For 2024, Scope 1 emissions are estimated at approximately 174 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 601 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 29.97 billion kg CO2e. For 2025, Scope 1 emissions are estimated at approximately 171 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 594 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 27.76 billion kg CO2e.

MAHLE has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve carbon-neutral production by 2040 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. In the near term, MAHLE GmbH has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 49% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. Additionally, the company commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and use of sold products by 28% within the same timeframe. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In 2019, MAHLE's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 217 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 1.23 billion kg CO2e.
