GHG emissions and Carbon intensity
Vestas Wind Systems reported Total CO2e Emissions - Market-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 31 December 2021 at 102 Kt (+5/+5.2% y-o-y). At the sime time, carbon intensity decreased to 5.5 t (-0.1 /-1.8% y-o-y).
Vestas Wind Systems's Scope 3 emissions plunged to 8,180 Kt (
The company is committed to achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 + 2 by 2030, which translates into the estimated reduction of -11 Kt per annum over the period of FY2022 - FY2030. This science-based target is aligned with Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Vestas Wind Systems aims to achive carbon neutrality across its operations (Scope 1 + 2) in 2030. Companies normally become carbon neutral with the help of the acquisition of carbon offsets rather than absolute reductions in their own greenhouse emissions. Also, carbon neutrality does not include non-CO2 GHG emissions.
