This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Oersted's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Oersted reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 184,732 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 10,012 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 18.45 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Oersted reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 18.45 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 90.99, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Oersted ranked 11 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Oersted is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Oersted reported a total carbon footprint of 9,049,924 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 10.39% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Oersted's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 97.37% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 2.04%.a
