As of 2025, Vestas Wind Systems 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, Vestas Wind Systems has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.a
Vestas Wind Systems's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 100,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2022.a
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Vestas Wind Systems has increased them, with 2025 levels exceeding those of the 2022 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.a
As of 2025, Vestas Wind Systems has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 2 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
Vestas Wind Systems's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 66.3% by 2035, compared to a baseline of 0 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Watt-hour (Wh) of Electricity Produced in 2022.a
As of 2025, Vestas Wind Systems is lagging behind on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 14.89% of the planned reduction.a
