Rockwool

Rockwool's reported carbon emissions

ROCKWOOL, headquartered in DK, operates within the 'All Other Miscellaneous Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing' industry. The company has reported significant carbon emissions and established ambitious climate commitments. In 2025, ROCKWOOL's total global GHG emissions, encompassing Scope 1, 2, and 3, amounted to approximately 3.2 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were reported at approximately 1.6 billion kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 71.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 1.5 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for about 798.6 million kg CO2e, and fuel and energy-related activities contributing approximately 452.3 million kg CO2e. For 2024, total global emissions were approximately 3.21 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions stood at about 16.2 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 110.7 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 1.48 billion kg CO2e. ROCKWOOL has committed to substantial emissions reductions. Notably, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 38% by 2034, using 2019 as a baseline. Furthermore, they have pledged to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 20% within the same timeframe. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which classifies these commitments as consistent with keeping warming to "Well-below 2°C". The company is also working towards achieving Net-Zero emissions by 2050, including residual GHG emissions. Earlier reporting indicates emissions of: * 2023: Approximately 2.31 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.23 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: 220 million kg CO2e, Scope 3: 930 million kg CO2e). * 2022: Approximately 2.65 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.45 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: 200 million kg CO2e, Scope 3: 1.02 billion kg CO2e). * 2021: Approximately 2.77 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.51 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: 220 million kg CO2e, Scope 3: 1.04 billion kg CO2e). * 2020: Approximately 2.52 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.35 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: 210 million kg CO2e, Scope 3: 920 million kg CO2e). * 2019: Approximately 3.59 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.79 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: 334.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 3: 1.47 billion kg CO2e). * 2018: Approximately 2.22 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.54 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: 340 million kg CO2e). * 2017: Approximately 1.75 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.44 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2: 310 million kg CO2e). * 2016: Approximately 1.59 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.28 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2: 300 million kg CO2e). * 2015: Approximately 1.60 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.29 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2: 310 million kg CO2e). ROCKWOOL's climate commitments include a goal to reduce CO2 emission intensity (CO2 per tonne of stone wool produced) by 20% by 2030 compared to 2015, with an interim target of 10% by 2022. They also had a goal to reduce absolute GHG emissions by 85% by 2030 compared to 2015. More recently, they aim to reduce absolute GHG emissions in Scope 1 and 2 by 38% by 2034, relative to a 2019 baseline.
