Insights into Volvo's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Volvo 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.
Does Volvo have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Volvo has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Volvo's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 387,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019.
As of 2024, Volvo is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 60.98% of the planned reduction.
Volvo's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Volvo have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Volvo 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.
Volvo's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 37.5% by 2034, compared to a baseline of 20,000,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019.
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Volvo has increased them, with 2024 levels exceeding those of the 2019 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
