Royal Unibrew's reported carbon emissions

Royal Unibrew's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments In 2024, Royal Unibrew reported a total of approximately 627,419,000 kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of approximately 34,524,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions and approximately 105,239,600 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. Scope 2 emissions under a market-based approach were approximately 499,000 kg CO2e, while the location-based approach accounted for approximately 14,478,000 kg CO2e. For 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 629,639,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 38,981,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 967,102,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions were approximately 3,556,000 kg CO2e (market-based) and approximately 21,168,000 kg CO2e (location-based). Royal Unibrew has established several climate targets. The company commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 61.3% by 2030, using 2019 as a base year. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% within the same timeframe. This Scope 3 reduction target encompasses emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, and end-of-life treatment of sold products. Looking further ahead, Royal Unibrew has set a long-term net-zero target for its entire value chain by 2040. To support this, they aim for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2040, also from a 2019 baseline. A 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions is also targeted within the same long-term timeframe. Furthermore, Royal Unibrew has a specific commitment to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities, with a target date of December 31, 2025. The company has also stated an ambition to become carbon emission-free by 2025 in Scope 1 and 2, excluding distribution. These targets are aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) requirements, ensuring a robust framework for emissions reduction within the beverages industry.
