Metsa

Metsä Group, a Finnish paper and paper products company, reported a total of approximately 5.61 billion kg CO2e for the year 2025. This total encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.

For the year 2025, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 433.8 million kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions (market-based) stood at approximately 230.6 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions accounted for the largest portion, totalling approximately 4.94 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 included the processing of sold products (approximately 1.62 billion kg CO2e), end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 1.06 billion kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (approximately 1.10 billion kg CO2e).

In 2024, Metsä Group's total emissions were approximately 5.62 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions for 2024 were approximately 547.1 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 328.1 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2024 totalled approximately 4.75 billion kg CO2e.

Metsä Group has set ambitious climate targets. By the end of 2030, the company aims to achieve fossil-free mills, with a focus on reducing fossil-based Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon dioxide emissions to zero. This target is aligned with the Paris Agreement's objective of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, representing an estimated 52% reduction in fossil-based CO2 emissions.

Furthermore, for Scope 3 emissions, Metsä Tissue and Metsä Forest have set targets to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by 50% compared to 2022 levels by 2030. Metsä Forest's target specifically aims to reduce fossil-based carbon dioxide emissions from wood supply in Finland by 30% compared to 2022 levels by 2030. The company is actively developing a detailed roadmap for Scope 3 emissions reductions across various categories.
