Insights into Borregaard's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways

As of 2024, Borregaard has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.

Does Borregaard have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?

As of 2024, Borregaard has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.

Borregaard's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2050, compared to a baseline of 196,359 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020.

As of 2024, Borregaard is lagging behind on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 7.69% of the planned reduction.
