Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Wallenius Wilhelmsen has set ambitious climate targets, aligning with a 1.5°C warming pathway:

• Net-Zero Ambition: The company is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040.
• Near-Term Targets (by 2030):
  • A 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions from a 2022 base year.
  • A 44% reduction in well-to-wake Scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from RoRo shipping operations per tonne nautical mile, equivalent to a 40% absolute reduction, from a 2022 base year.
  • Achieve 100% active annual sourcing of renewable electricity by 2030.
• Long-Term Targets (by 2040):
  • A 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions from a 2022 base year.
  • A 97.1% reduction in well-to-wake Scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from RoRo shipping operations per tonne nautical mile, equivalent to a 96.4% absolute reduction, from a 2022 base year.
  • A 90% reduction in remaining absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions.
  • Continue sourcing 100% renewable electricity beyond 2030.
• Other Initiatives:
  • All owned vessels are to be equipped for zero emissions at berth by 2025.
  • Introduce a net-zero emission end-to-end service offering by the end of 2027.
  • All energy will be from sustainable sources by 2050.

The company has established a dedicated taskforce reporting to the CEO to drive its transformation towards net-zero emissions.
