Vestas

Vestas, headquartered in Denmark and operating in the Electricity by Wind industry, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 9.45 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 108 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and approximately 9.34 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were purchased goods and services (about 7.98 billion kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (about 750 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, Vestas's total emissions in 2024 were approximately 8.25 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of 108 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of 1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 8.63 billion kg CO2e. For 2022, total emissions were about 8.77 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 98 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at 2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 8.67 billion kg CO2e.

Vestas has set ambitious climate commitments and reduction targets. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2 emissions) by 2030, without using carbon offsets, from a 2019 baseline. This includes a near-term target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 55% by 2025. Additionally, Vestas is committed to reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2022 baseline. The company also aims to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions in its value chain by 45% per MWh generated by 2030, from a 2019 baseline. More specifically, Vestas commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution by 66.3% per MWh delivered to the market by 2035, from a 2022 baseline. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with near-term targets classified as consistent with a 1.5°C warming pathway.
