Nordex

Nordex SE, a company in the Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. industry based in Germany, has reported a total of approximately 5.26 billion kg CO2e in emissions for 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. In 2024, their total emissions were approximately 4.70 billion kg CO2e.

The company's Scope 1 emissions in 2025 were around 39.6 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 503,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were substantial, reaching about 5.22 billion kg CO2e in 2025, with the largest contributors being purchased goods and services (approximately 3.72 billion kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 872.5 million kg CO2e).

For 2022, Nordex reported total emissions of approximately 4.44 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of about 27.2 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 501,000 kg CO2e. Their Scope 3 emissions for that year totalled approximately 4.40 billion kg CO2e.

Nordex has established several climate commitments. They are committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain by 2050. As part of their near-term goals, Nordex aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2022 as a base year. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. Their 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 Science Based Targets (SBTi) validated and considered consistent with keeping warming to 1.5°C.

Previously, Nordex had targets to reduce the CO2 footprint of their turbines by 25% by 2025. Emissions data for 2023 shows Scope 1 emissions of approximately 53.9 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 584,000 kg CO2e. Data for Scope 3 was not disclosed for 2023. Emissions reporting for 2021 shows total emissions of approximately 3.51 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 14.2 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 607,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed for 2021.

In 2020, total emissions were approximately 3.40 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 14.1 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 8.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2020 totalled about 3.37 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being a significant contributor at approximately 2.63 billion kg CO2e. Earlier years, such as 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016, show Scope 1 and 2 emissions in the ranges of approximately 10.7 to 11.4 million kg CO2e and 1.9 to 5.3 million kg CO2e respectively. Scope 3 emissions were reported in the range of approximately 2.3 to 4.5 billion kg CO2e for these years, with purchased goods and services frequently being a substantial component. Emissions data for 2015 is not available.
