Swedavia

Swedavia, an air transport services company based in Sweden, is actively committed to reducing its carbon emissions.

In 2025, Swedavia anticipates its total carbon emissions to be approximately 2.46 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of roughly 176,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 2.46 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include capital goods (about 103 million kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (around 60.6 million kg CO2e), and employee commuting (approximately 3.8 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, in 2024, Swedavia's total carbon emissions were around 2.18 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 1.96 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at about 184,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 2.18 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the total emissions were approximately 404 million kg CO2e, following about 364 million kg CO2e in 2022, 178 million kg CO2e in 2021, and 166 million kg CO2e in 2020.

Swedavia has demonstrated significant progress in emissions reduction. Between 2019 and 2020, its Scope 1 and Scope 2 fossil carbon dioxide emissions were reduced by about 74%, falling from 316 metric tonnes to 83 metric tonnes.

The company has set ambitious climate targets. By 2025, all active operations at its airports, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, are targeted to be fossil-free. Additionally, transport to and from the airports is aimed to be fossil-free by 2030. Swedavia is also committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from its construction and civil engineering operations by 2040 (Scope 1, 2, and 3 upstream). This target covers the entire value chain, from building materials to transport and fuel, with gradual reductions aiming for a 10% decrease by 2023 compared to traditional construction in 2015. Swedavia is currently on track for its 2023 target regarding Scope 1 net-zero emissions from construction operations. The broader aviation industry, to which Swedavia belongs, has committed to achieving net zero from its operations by 2050, materialised through the Fly Net Zero commitment by IATA member airlines.
