Biogaia's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, BioGaia AB reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 7,300,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 73,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile combustion, and 33,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, calculated on a market-based approach. The majority of their emissions, about 7,168,000 kg CO2e, stem from Scope 3, with downstream transportation and distribution accounting for 4,592,000 kg CO2e. In comparison, the 2023 emissions data indicated a total of approximately 6,284,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 77,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 32,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were about 6,284,000 kg CO2e, again highlighting the significant impact of downstream activities. BioGaia has set ambitious targets to reduce its emissions. The company aims to achieve a 46% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, using 2019 levels as a baseline. This target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Additionally, BioGaia is committed to working towards near-zero emissions for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2050. Overall, BioGaia's climate commitments reflect a proactive approach to managing its carbon footprint, with a clear focus on significant reductions in its operational emissions over the coming years.
