Danfoss's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Danfoss reported total carbon emissions of approximately 124,240,079,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across all three scopes: 130,742,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 216,002,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and a significant 123,893,335,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). This represents a notable increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 127,916,125,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 164,465,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 262,222,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 127,489,438,000 kg CO2e. Danfoss has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 46.2% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. Additionally, the company targets a 15% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions within the same timeframe. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Furthermore, Danfoss has committed to halving the CO2 intensity of energy used in its operations by 2030, compared to a 2007 baseline. This commitment encompasses both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, reflecting a comprehensive approach to reducing its carbon footprint across all operational levels.
