Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
VELUX, a Danish company specialising in secondary construction materials, is committed to significant carbon emission reductions. The company's climate commitments and emissions data are inherited from its parent company, VELUX A/S.
In 2025, VELUX reported total emissions of approximately 1.001 billion kg CO2e. This included around 20 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, zero from Scope 2 market-based emissions (with approximately 34 million kg CO2e from location-based Scope 2 emissions), and approximately 981 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 were purchased goods and services (around 731 million kg CO2e), end-of-life treatment of sold products (around 85 million kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (around 73 million kg CO2e).
Looking at previous years, VELUX's total emissions were approximately 1.099 billion kg CO2e in 2024 and 1.107 billion kg CO2e in 2023. This indicates a downward trend in overall emissions.
VELUX has set ambitious targets to achieve carbon neutrality. The company aims for a 100% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, compared to a 2020 baseline. Additionally, VELUX has a long-term goal to reduce and remove 4.5 million tonnes CO2 through forest and biodiversity projects by 2041, equivalent to its historical carbon emissions from 1941 to 2041. Another target is to reduce the energy intensity of the VELUX Group by 56% by 2030, against a 2015 baseline.
