Sma Solar Technology's reported carbon emissions

SMA Solar Technology's carbon emissions have been reported for the years 2020 through 2025. In 2025, the company reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 496.7 million kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 2.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 3,100 kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling about 491.4 million kg CO2e. The largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 was purchased goods and services, amounting to about 390.3 million kg CO2e, followed by the use of sold products at approximately 85 million kg CO2e. In 2024, SMA Solar Technology reported total emissions of approximately 730.3 million kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 2.8 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 135,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling about 727.4 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for the largest portion at roughly 582.6 million kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions were approximately 791.2 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 2.8 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 192,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 788.2 million kg CO2e. SMA Solar Technology has established several climate commitments. The company is committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by 2030, using 2022 as the base year. This target is aligned with a 1.5°C pathway. Additionally, SMA Solar Technology aims to continuously procure 100% renewable electricity annually through 2030. Furthermore, the company has committed to ensuring that 82% of its suppliers, based on emissions coverage for purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution, will have science-based targets by 2028. The company also previously had a target to reduce specific CO2e emissions in kg per kW of inverter output produced by 50% by 2025, compared to a 2018 base year, which was achieved in 2020. There was also a goal to supply the SMA group with 100% climate-neutral electricity and heating by 2025.
