In 2024, SEK reported total carbon emissions of approximately 695,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions accounting for about 19,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions comprising the majority at about 676,000 kg CO2e. This marks a significant increase from 2023, where total emissions were approximately 492,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 9,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at about 483,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, SEK has shown a trend of increasing emissions, with 2022 figures at approximately 325,000 kg CO2e, 2021 at about 129,000 kg CO2e, and 2020 at around 165,000 kg CO2e. The emissions data does not include Scope 1 emissions, indicating a focus on indirect emissions from energy use and supply chain activities. SEK has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor do they participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate action and transparency in their sustainability efforts. All emissions data is reported without cascading from a parent organization, ensuring that the figures reflect SEK's direct impact.
