Velux

Velux, headquartered in Denmark and operating in the Lumber, Plywood, Millwork, and Wood Panel Merchant Wholesalers industry, has reported its latest carbon emissions data. In 2025, Velux's total emissions are projected to be approximately 1.00 billion kg CO2e. This includes about 20 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 34 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based). Scope 3 emissions are anticipated to be around 981 million kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 731 million kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (around 73 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, in 2024, total emissions were approximately 1.10 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at around 20 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) at 37 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 1.08 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions were approximately 1.11 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 22 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, 37 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and 1.08 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Velux has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve a 100% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. Furthermore, Velux intends to become a carbon-neutral company by 2030 and halve carbon emissions from its value chain. By 2041, Velux targets a reduction and removal of 4.5 million tonnes CO2 through forest and biodiversity projects, equivalent to the company's carbon emissions from 1941 to 2041. Velux has also set a new target to reduce its energy intensity by 56% by 2030, compared to a 2015 baseline. These commitments are cascaded from its parent company, VELUX A/S.
