As of 2025, Kesko 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.a
As of 2025, Kesko has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.a
Kesko's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 58.8% by 2034, compared to a baseline of 91,135 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2024.a
As of 2025, Kesko is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 31.6% of the planned reduction.a
As of 2025, Kesko 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.a
Kesko's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 42.4% by 2034, compared to a baseline of 3,323,927 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2024.a
As of 2025, Kesko is on track to meet its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 9.6% of the planned reduction.a
As of 2025, Kesko has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.a
Kesko's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 7,362,415 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2024, by 90% by 2050.a
Instead of reducing total carbon footprint, Kesko has increased them, with 2025 levels exceeding those of the 2024 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.a
