In 2024, Kongsberg Gruppen ASA reported total carbon emissions of approximately 13,585,002,000 kg CO2e. This includes 1,473,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 22,071,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and a significant 13,561,458,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has set ambitious targets to reduce its carbon footprint, aiming for nearly 100% reductions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. This will be achieved through energy efficiency measures, transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and sourcing certified green electricity. Kongsberg has also committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 55% by 2030 and aims to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 0% in 2019 to 100% by 2030. Additionally, the company plans to ensure that 67% of its suppliers, by spend, will have science-based targets by 2027. For Scope 3 emissions, specifically from the use of sold products, Kongsberg aims for a 25% reduction by 2030 from a 2021 baseline. These commitments align with Kongsberg's long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, necessitating substantial efforts from both the company and its business partners to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
