Nordex's reported carbon emissions
Nordex SE, a German company in the Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. (31) industry, reported a total of approximately 5.26 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This figure is comprised of approximately 39.6 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and approximately 5.22 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. Scope 2 emissions, using the market-based approach, were approximately 503,000 kg CO2e, and approximately 28.9 million kg CO2e using the location-based approach for the same year. For 2024, Nordex SE's total emissions were approximately 4.70 billion kg CO2e. This breaks down to approximately 53 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 4.65 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3, and approximately 405,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). In 2023, Nordex SE disclosed Scope 1 emissions of approximately 53.9 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 584,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year, with missing data points noted for 'purchased goods and services'. In terms of climate commitments, Nordex SE has set near-term targets to reduce the CO2 footprint of its turbines by 25% by 2025, with a 2021 baseline. They have also committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain by 2050. More specifically, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030, using 2022 as the base year. Long-term targets include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050, also from a 2022 base year. These targets are aligned with a 1.5°C warming scenario.
