The 2025 disclosure of Sanoma includes a breakdown across 10 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, Sanoma reported total Scope 3 emissions of 88,075 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 86.58% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 13.42% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2021, Sanoma's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 36.85%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Sanoma's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 10.48%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2025, Sanoma reported emissions for 10 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Sanoma's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Sanoma reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 2,917 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 1,531 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1.9 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Sanoma reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1.9 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 2.41, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Sanoma ranked 11 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Sanoma is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Sanoma reported a total carbon footprint of 93,733 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 11.71% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Sanoma's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 93.96% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 3.11%.a
