Orkla ASA

Orkla ASA, a Norwegian research and development services company, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6.495 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This figure comprises 102.987 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 7.881 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions, and approximately 6.384 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

Orkla ASA has established ambitious climate commitments, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2045, using a 2016 base year.

The company has set several near-term and long-term targets:

• Near-term (Scope 1 and 2): Orkla ASA commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 65% by 2025 and 70% by 2030, both from a 2016 base year.
• Near-term (Scope 3): The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% by 2025 and 50% by 2030, both from a 2016 base year.
• Long-term (Scope 1 and 2): Orkla ASA commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2045 from a 2016 base year.
• Long-term (Scope 3): The company also commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2045 from a 2016 base year.

Orkla ASA's near-term targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions are classified as consistent with a 1.5°C warming trajectory by the SBTi. The company has also committed to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 31, 2025, and a 30.3% reduction in Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2020 base year.
