Metsa's reported carbon emissions

Metsä Group, headquartered in Finland and operating within the Paper and paper products industry, has reported significant carbon emissions across its operations. For the reporting year 2025, the company's total emissions were approximately 5.61 billion kg CO2e. This total comprises approximately 433.79 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, and approximately 230.58 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based) emissions. Scope 3 emissions accounted for the largest portion, with approximately 4.94 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, Metsä Group reported total emissions of approximately 5.62 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at around 547.11 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions at approximately 328.07 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2024 totalled approximately 4.75 billion kg CO2e. Metsä Group is committed to climate action with ambitious reduction targets. The company aims to achieve fossil-free mills by 2030. More broadly, Metsä Group has set a target to reduce fossil-based Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon dioxide emissions to zero by the end of 2030. This goal is aligned with the Paris Agreement's objective to limit global warming to 1.5°C, requiring a 52% reduction in fossil-based carbon dioxide emissions. For Scope 3 emissions, Metsä Group acknowledges that its current targets are not yet fully aligned with the 1.5°C pathway. In early 2026, the company initiated a project to assess reduction potential in its value chain emissions. Specifically, Metsä Tissue and Metsä Forest have set targets to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by 50% compared to 2022 levels by 2030. Metsä Forest aims to reduce fossil-based carbon dioxide emissions from wood supply in Finland by 30% compared to 2022 levels by 2030. Further details on Scope 3 emission reduction roadmaps are being developed.
