Samhallsbyggnadsbolaget I Norden

Samhallsbyggnadsbolaget I Norden (SBB), a real estate services company headquartered in Sweden, has reported a total of approximately 82.3 billion kg CO2e for the reporting year 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.

In 2025, SBB's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 515,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, calculated on a market-based approach, amounted to approximately 7,923,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, totalling approximately 18,561,000 kg CO2e, with the largest contributions from downstream leased assets (approximately 6,211,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods (approximately 6,061,000 kg CO2e).

Looking at previous years, SBB reported total emissions of approximately 74.1 billion kg CO2e for 2024 and approximately 58.5 billion kg CO2e for 2023. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 69.1 billion kg CO2e, and in 2021, they were approximately 56.1 billion kg CO2e. For 2020, total emissions were approximately 61.3 billion kg CO2e, and in 2019, Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 22,724,000 kg CO2e.

SBB has established several climate commitments. Notably, they have committed to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2020 as the base year. This target was approved via a streamlined validation route for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). SBB also commits to measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions.

Further targets include reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25% by 2025 and by 60% by 2030, compared to the 2020 baseline. An interim target aims to reduce the climate impact in comparable portfolios by 5% annually. SBB also has a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from specific categories, including fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, and investments, by 20% by 2028 from a 2021 base year. Additionally, they aim for 85% of their suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services, and capital goods, to have science-based targets by 2028.
