However, for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022, SJ AB disclosed no emissions across all scopes, indicating a significant shift in their operational impact. Despite the absence of recent emissions data, SJ AB has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the lack of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This suggests a potential focus on improving sustainability practices, although specific strategies or commitments have not been detailed. As a company headquartered in Sweden, SJ AB operates within an industry increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, and the absence of emissions in recent years may reflect a strategic pivot towards more sustainable operations.
