Compared to the previous year (2024), Kesko's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) fell by 19.57% in 2025, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its energy consumption.a
In 2025, Kesko reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Kesko reported 8,081,021 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Kesko includes a breakdown across 6 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Kesko reported total Scope 3 emissions of 8,081,021 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 83.18% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 16.82% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2020, Kesko's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 16.28%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Kesko's Scope 3 emissions increased by 11.14%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2025, Kesko reported emissions for 6 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Kesko's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Kesko reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 55,237 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 14,666 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 3.77 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Kesko reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 3.77 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 11.41, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Kesko ranked 6 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Kesko is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Kesko reported a total carbon footprint of 8,170,979 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 10.81% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Kesko's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 98.9% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 0.68%.a
