VTT, headquartered in France, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as no emissions figures are available. However, the organisation is part of a corporate family that includes Carrefour SA, from which it inherits emissions data and climate commitments. VTT's climate initiatives are aligned with those of Carrefour SA, which has set ambitious targets for carbon reduction. These initiatives include participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability in emissions reporting. As a current subsidiary of Carrefour SA, VTT benefits from the sustainability strategies and performance metrics established by its parent company. This relationship underscores VTT's commitment to addressing climate change, although specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed at this time. Overall, while VTT does not provide direct emissions data, its alignment with Carrefour SA's climate initiatives reflects a commitment to sustainability and carbon reduction within the broader corporate framework.

VTT's Scope 3 emissions, which decreased by 2% last year and increased significantly since 2016, demonstrating supply chain emissions tracking. Nearly all of their carbon footprint comes from suppliers and value chain emissions, representing nearly all emissions under the GHG Protocol, with "Purchased Goods and Services" being the largest emissions source at 80% of Scope 3 emissions.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
VTT has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
