Beijer Ref's reported carbon emissions
Beijer Ref, headquartered in SE and operating within the machinery and equipment n.e.c. (29) industry, has reported significant carbon emissions and outlined ambitious climate commitments. For the reporting year 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 29.72 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 20.89 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 11.08 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 29.69 billion kg CO2e. The largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions was the use of sold products, amounting to approximately 27.07 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, Beijer Ref's total emissions were approximately 31.58 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 9.59 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 6.63 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 31.56 billion kg CO2e. The use of sold products again represented the largest portion of Scope 3 emissions, at approximately 28.71 billion kg CO2e. The company's climate strategy is underpinned by Science Based Targets (SBTi) commitments. Beijer Ref aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2021 as a baseline year. This target is aligned with a 1.5°C scenario. Furthermore, the company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 25% within the same timeframe. For Scope 1 emissions specifically, the company has identified focus areas to achieve an absolute reduction of 42%. Data indicates positive progress, with Scope 1 emissions showing an on-track status for near-term targets for 2022 and 2023, while Scope 2 targets showed an on-track status for 2022. However, the on-track status for Scope 2 for 2023 and Scope 1 and 2 for 2024 shows as not on track. Beijer Ref's emissions data and reduction targets are not cascaded from a parent organisation.
