Nilfisk

Nilfisk, headquartered in DK and operating in the motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers industry, has set ambitious climate commitments. For the reporting year 2024, the company reported total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of approximately 1.83 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 14.48 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 3.31 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling around 1.82 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions are predominantly driven by the use of sold products, accounting for approximately 1.48 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at about 332.93 million kg CO2e.

Nilfisk has established targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has committed to a 35% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. Additionally, Nilfisk aims to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 48% per unit of gross profit by 2030, with a 2021 baseline. More recently, Nilfisk updated its science-based climate targets, committing to achieve Net-Zero emissions by 2040 across its value chain. This includes a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50.5% by 2030 from a 2021 base year, and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2040 from the same baseline. For Scope 3, the company aims for a 42% reduction in emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products by 2030, and a 90% reduction by 2040, both from a 2021 base year.

In 2023, Nilfisk reported a 16% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions compared to the 2019 baseline, indicating progress towards its reduction goals. The company also reported a reduction of Scope 2 emissions (market-based) to approximately 3.84 million kg CO2e in 2023, down from about 5.22 million kg CO2e in 2022.
