Vonovia

Vonovia, a German real estate services company, is actively working to reduce its carbon footprint. In 2025, Vonovia reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions of approximately 1.8 billion kg CO2e. This includes about 530.7 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 270.3 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and 904.9 million kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Looking back, the company's total reported emissions were approximately 1.8 billion kg CO2e in 2024, 1.1 billion kg CO2e in 2023, and 1.8 billion kg CO2e in 2022.

Vonovia has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2021 as a base year. This target specifically applies to emissions from its housing stock in Germany, Sweden, and Austria, which represent about 97% of its total Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Additionally, Vonovia is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030, focusing on categories such as "Fuel and energy-related activities," "Use of sold products," and "Downstream leased assets." These Scope 3 categories cover approximately 80% of the company's total Scope 3 emissions. Vonovia also has a long-term goal to reduce its overall Scope 3 emissions by 86% by 2045, from a 2021 base year. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), reflecting a commitment consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.

Furthermore, Vonovia has a standing commitment to conduct energy-efficient refurbishments on at least 3% of its building stock per year, a programme initiated in 2018 with a target end year of 2025, impacting both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
