Vitens's reported carbon emissions

Vitens, headquartered in the Netherlands, is committed to reducing its environmental impact. For the reporting year 2024, Vitens reported total carbon emissions of approximately 141,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of approximately 40,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 86,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (specifically purchased electricity), and approximately 15,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In 2023, Vitens's total emissions were approximately 130,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 39,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (purchased electricity) at approximately 72,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 13,000,000 kg CO2e. Looking back, Vitens reported total emissions of approximately 141,000,000 kg CO2e for 2022. For 2021, the total emissions were approximately 148,000,000 kg CO2e, and in 2020, total emissions stood at approximately 153,000,000 kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at approximately 38,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 92,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 18,000,000 kg CO2e. Vitens has reported historical reduction targets. A target set between 2015 and 2020 aimed to reduce CO2 emissions in production by 40% for both Scope 1 and Scope 2. The provided data indicates this target was on track for the five-year period. It's important to note that for the 2022 and 2021 reporting years, detailed breakdowns for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions were not fully available in the provided data, with some specific categories such as purchased goods and services within Scope 3 missing. The data indicates that Vitens does not currently cascade its emissions data from a parent organisation, and its climate commitments are self-declared.
