In 2024, Sveaskog reported total carbon emissions of approximately 310,387,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 17,300,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 1,206,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 291,882,000 kg CO2e. This represents an increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 256,491,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 12,136,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 948,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 243,407,000 kg CO2e. Sveaskog has set ambitious targets to reduce its carbon emissions by 30% by 2020 compared to 2010 levels, specifically for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Although the company has made commitments to reduce emissions, it is unclear if these targets have been fully achieved, as the latest data indicates an overall increase in emissions. Additionally, Sveaskog is committed to long-term climate goals, having established a net-zero target by 2050, as part of its Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments. This commitment reflects the company's recognition of the need for substantial reductions across all scopes of emissions. Overall, while Sveaskog has made strides in setting reduction targets, the recent emissions data suggests a need for enhanced strategies to meet its climate commitments effectively.
