Insights into Axfood's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Axfood has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its value chain emissions (Scope 3), without dedicated targets for its operational emissions. This indicates a focus on upstream and downstream climate impacts rather than internal operations.
Does Axfood have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Axfood has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Axfood's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 10% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0.002 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Kilogram (kg) of Food Sold/Delivered in 2023.
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Axfood has increased them, with 2024 levels exceeding those of the 2023 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.

Does Axfood have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Axfood has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
Axfood's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 36,582 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020, by 85% by 2030.
Instead of reducing total carbon footprint, Axfood has increased them, with 2024 levels exceeding those of the 2020 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
