Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
Tomra, headquartered in Norway and operating in the Machinery and equipment n.e.c. industry, reported total emissions of approximately 1.65 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 24.05 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 7.97 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 1.62 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. A significant portion of Scope 3 emissions in 2025 came from the use of sold products, accounting for about 1.35 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at approximately 172.21 million kg CO2e.
Looking back, Tomra's total emissions in 2024 were approximately 2.38 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at roughly 24.81 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at about 10.14 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 2.34 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions were approximately 1.23 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 21.35 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at roughly 6.4 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were about 1.2 billion kg CO2e, primarily driven by the use of sold products (approximately 1.19 billion kg CO2e).
Tomra is committed to ambitious climate action, with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets. Tomra Systems ASA aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. Near-term, the company commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 55% by 2033 from a 2022 base year. Concurrently, it plans to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions by 62% per million EUR value added within the same timeframe. For the long-term, Tomra Systems ASA aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2022 base year, and to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions by 97% per million EUR value added within that period. These targets, covering greenhouse gas emissions from company operations (Scopes 1 and 2), are consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
