Velux's reported carbon emissions
VELUX, headquartered in Denmark, reported a total of approximately 1 billion kg CO2e in emissions for the year 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. For the reporting year 2025, VELUX's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 20 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, using the location-based method, amounted to approximately 34 million kg CO2e, with market-based Scope 2 emissions at 0.0 kg CO2e. The majority of emissions, approximately 981 million kg CO2e, were attributed to Scope 3. Key contributors within Scope 3 include purchased goods and services (approximately 731 million kg CO2e) and end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 85 million kg CO2e). In 2024, VELUX's total emissions were approximately 1.099 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions stood at approximately 20 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at approximately 1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 location-based at approximately 37 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 1.078 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the largest contributor at approximately 820 million kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions were approximately 1.107 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 22 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 location-based emissions were approximately 37 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 1.084 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services contributing approximately 830 million kg CO2e. VELUX has established significant climate commitments, aiming for a 100% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, using 2020 as a baseline year.
