Wartsila's reported carbon emissions
Wärtsilä, a machinery and equipment manufacturer headquartered in Finland, has reported its carbon emissions and outlined climate commitments. In 2025, the company's total global GHG emissions were approximately 112.1 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of around 40.8 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 5.96 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling about 112 billion kg CO2e. Within Scope 3, the use of sold products accounted for the largest portion at approximately 109.9 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at roughly 2.03 billion kg CO2e. For 2024, Wärtsilä's total global emissions were approximately 89.0 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of about 37.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of approximately 12.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of nearly 88.9 billion kg CO2e, with the use of sold products being the dominant category. Wärtsilä has established several reduction targets. The company aims to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025, a target that was also in place for 2023 with an aim of reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 20,000 tonnes (approximately 20%) compared to a 2021 baseline. Additionally, Wärtsilä aims to reduce its Scope 2 emissions by 15% from 2020 levels by 2025 and its Scope 1 emissions by a similar percentage over the same period. A broader commitment is to achieve carbon neutrality in its own operations by 2030, with plans to provide a product portfolio ready for zero carbon fuels by the same year. In 2024, the company reported reducing its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50,163 tonnes compared to its baseline. A long-term objective for the maritime industry, which Wärtsilä serves, is to reach net zero emissions by mid-century.
