This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 122,469 kg CO2e, which stem from mobile and stationary combustion activities. Scope 2 emissions were reported at approximately 24,407 kg CO2e, with a market-based approach accounting for about 8,255 kg CO2e. Notably, the majority of emissions, approximately 282,000,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which includes significant contributions from purchased goods and services (about 258,137,615 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 9,956 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, XL-BYGG AB has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or climate pledges. The emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, indicating a corporate family relationship, but no specific initiatives or commitments from the parent organisation have been detailed. As a current subsidiary of XL-BYGG AB, the company is positioned within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon reduction, yet it currently lacks defined strategies to address its carbon footprint.
