For the reporting year 2025, the company reported a total of approximately 245 million kg CO2e in emissions. This includes Scope 1 emissions of roughly 10.18 million kg CO2e, primarily from stationary and mobile combustion, along with fugitive and stationary combustion sources. Scope 2 emissions, calculated on a market-based approach, were approximately 801,000 kg CO2e, contrasting with the location-based figure of 18.57 million kg CO2e. The majority of Sonova's emissions originate from Scope 3, totalling about 234 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services (126.92 million kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (50.88 million kg CO2e) being the largest contributors. The company has set ambitious targets, committing to reduce its combined absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 78.3% and Scope 3 emissions by 32.5% by 2032, using 2019 as the baseline year. These targets are aligned with a 1.5°C pathway and have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Sonova also aims for carbon-neutral operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2025 and has a long-term commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
