Wieland's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments

Wieland, headquartered in Germany and operating within the 'Other business services (74)' industry, is committed to reducing its environmental impact. The company has set ambitious targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Carbon Emissions Overview

Based on the latest available data:

• 2025: Wieland reported total emissions of approximately 1.41 billion kg CO2e. This comprised of approximately 130.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 289.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, estimated at approximately 987.3 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for the largest portion (around 559.8 million kg CO2e).
• 2024: Total emissions were approximately 1.29 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 89 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 342 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were approximately 856.7 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the largest contributor (around 559.7 million kg CO2e).
• 2023: Total emissions were approximately 1,287,600 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 89,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 3,420,000,000 kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were approximately 8,567,000,000 kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services representing the largest share at approximately 563,000,000 kg CO2e.
• 2022: Total emissions stood at approximately 2.06 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 106.3 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions approximately 476.2 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were substantial at approximately 1.48 billion kg CO2e, predominantly from purchased goods and services (around 1.29 billion kg CO2e).
• 2021: Total emissions were approximately 1.74 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.06 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 4.76 billion kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were approximately 1.48 million kg CO2e.
• 2020: Total emissions were approximately 1.94 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 97 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions approximately 430 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were approximately 1.41 billion kg CO2e.
• 2019: Total emissions were approximately 2.11 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 101.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 502 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were approximately 1.51 billion kg CO2e.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets

Wieland has made significant commitments to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions:

• Net-Zero by 2045: The company aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain by 2045.
• Near-Term Reduction Targets: Wieland has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by FY2030, using FY2019 as the base year. Furthermore, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 46.2% within the same timeframe.
• Long-Term Reduction Targets: In line with their net-zero goal, Wieland is targeting a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2045 from a FY2019 base year. They also aim for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions, specifically from purchased goods and services, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and waste generated in operations, by FY2045.

These targets are recognised as being consistent with the reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
