In 2023, Vitens reported total carbon emissions of approximately 124,000,000 kg CO2e. This marks a reduction from 2022, when emissions were about 141,000,000 kg CO2e, and from 2021, which saw emissions of around 148,000,000 kg CO2e. The company’s emissions data for 2020 indicates a total of approximately 153,000,000 kg CO2e, with a breakdown of 38,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 92,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 18,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Despite these reductions, Vitens has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the water utility sector. As Vitens continues to navigate its carbon footprint, ongoing monitoring and transparent reporting will be essential for achieving meaningful climate commitments.
