Vestas

Vestas, headquartered in Denmark, is a key player in the Electricity by wind industry. In 2025, Vestas reported estimated total carbon emissions of approximately 9.45 billion kg CO2e. This included about 108 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 9.34 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. For 2024, total estimated emissions were approximately 8.25 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 104 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at 1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 8.14 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, Vestas's total emissions were approximately 8.77 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 98 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 8.67 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Vestas is committed to significant climate action, including Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030, without the use of carbon offsets, from a 2019 baseline. Specifically, Vestas has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 100% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. Furthermore, Vestas commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions by 45% per MWh delivered to the market by 2030 from a 2019 base year. More recent SBTi commitments from a 2022 baseline indicate a 50% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, and a 66.3% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution per MWh delivered to the market by 2035.

Previous targets include a 55% reduction in carbon emissions from its own operations by 2025 from a 2019 baseline. The company also previously aimed for a 10% reduction in carbon footprint by 2020 from a 2017 baseline of 6.60 grams CO2 per kWh for Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
