Paulig

Paulig, a Finnish food products company, reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 726.9 million kg CO2e in 2025. This figure is a decrease from 744 million kg CO2e in 2024 and 688 million kg CO2e in 2023.

In 2025, Paulig's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 20.2 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 (market-based) emissions at approximately 1.6 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions, which primarily include purchased goods and services, were about 705.1 million kg CO2e. Other significant Scope 3 categories included upstream transportation and distribution at approximately 36.1 million kg CO2e, and downstream transportation and distribution at approximately 14.6 million kg CO2e.

Paulig has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2045.

Near-term targets include:

• A 65.0% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2018 base year.
• A 51.0% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe.

Long-term targets by 2045 from a 2018 base year include:

• A 90.0% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
• A 90.0% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions.

These targets include biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks and align with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. Paulig also commits to a 37.0% reduction in Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 2030 and a 72.0% reduction by 2045, along with a commitment to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 31, 2025.
