Sudzucker

Südzucker, a German sugar producer, reported approximately 2.42 billion kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, 268.7 million kg CO2e in market-based Scope 2 emissions, and 7.43 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions for the year 2026. This represents a decrease in Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions compared to 2025, where Scope 1 emissions were approximately 2.72 billion kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions were about 8.59 billion kg CO2e.

Südzucker has set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved goals. The company commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50.4% by 2030 from a 2018 base year. Additionally, Südzucker aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, and upstream transportation and distribution by 30% within the same timeframe, also from a 2018 base year. The targets covering Scope 1 and 2 emissions are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. The Scope 3 target aligns with SBTi requirements for limiting global warming to 2°C. The company also states a long-term aspiration for climate-neutral production processes by 2050. These commitments and emissions data are inherited from the parent company, Südzucker AG.
