Insights into Verbund's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2025, Verbund 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
Does Verbund have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2025, Verbund has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.a
Verbund's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2040, compared to a baseline of 0 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Watt-hour (Wh) of Electricity Produced in 2020.a
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Verbund has increased them, with 2025 levels exceeding those of the 2020 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.a
Verbund's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Verbund have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2025, Verbund 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
Verbund's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 98% by 2040, compared to a baseline of 0 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Watt-hour (Wh) of Electricity Sold in 2020.a
As of 2025, Verbund is ahead of schedule on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 62.67% of the planned reduction.a
Verbund's Value Chain (Scope 3) Emissions Pathway
Does Verbund have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2025, Verbund has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.a
Verbund's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 6,241,532 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020, by 90% by 2040.a
As of 2025, Verbund is ahead of schedule on its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 44.94% of the planned reduction.a
