Metso

Metso, headquartered in Finland and operating in the Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. industry, has reported its carbon emissions and set ambitious climate commitments.

In 2025, Metso's total carbon emissions were approximately 61.34 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 36.44 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of roughly 1.72 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 61.30 billion kg CO2e. A significant portion of Scope 3 emissions came from the use of sold products (around 60.31 billion kg CO2e).

Looking at previous years:

• 2024: Total emissions were approximately 62.49 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 33.25 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were roughly 4.41 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounted to approximately 62.45 billion kg CO2e, with use of sold products accounting for around 61.50 billion kg CO2e.
• 2023: Total emissions were about 4.10 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of roughly 36.91 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 3.23 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 4.06 billion kg CO2e.

Metso has set significant climate commitments, which have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi):

• Near-term: Metso commits to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, based on a 2019 baseline. This includes a 95.0% absolute reduction in Scope 1 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2019 base year and a 95.0% absolute reduction in Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2019 base year. Additionally, Metso aims to cut GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 51.6% per euro of product revenue by 2030, from a 2024 base year. They also commit that 40.0% of their customers (by revenue, covering downstream transportation and distribution and use of sold products) and 40.0% of their suppliers (by spend, covering purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution) will have science-based targets by 2030.
• Long-term: Metso is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. This includes maintaining a minimum 95.0% absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reduction from 2030 through 2050 from a 2019 base year, and reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050 from a 2024 base year.

Earlier targets included a goal to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 13% by 2025 from a 2017 base-year. Metso also aimed to halve emissions from its own production by 2030, based on a 2019 baseline, and to reach net-zero emissions in its own operations by 2030.
