Reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Our objectives for 2030
  • Reducing marked-based Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 42%
  • Increasing the share of renewable energy and nuclear power to 95% of the electricity and heat used
  • Reducing significant Scope 3 emissions by 25%
Reducing Scope 1 & 2 emissions

Ponsse aims to reduce market-based Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 42% (1,850 tCO2e) from the 2023 base year by 2030. This represents a linear annual reduction of 6% compared with the 2023 base year (264 tCO2e). The emissions reduction target is compatible with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C. The most significant actions in the plan focus on replacing vehicles with low-emission alternatives and increasing the use of renewable fuels.

Increasing the share of renewable energy and nuclear power

In addition to its emissions reduction targets, Ponsse has set a target to increase the share of renewable energy and nuclear power to 95% of the electricity and heat consumed by 2030. The target also includes fuels used for heating purposes.

Reducing Scope 3 emissions

In the 2025 reporting, Ponsse set a reduction target for its value chain emissions. The goal is to reduce significant Scope 3 emissions by 25% (353,840 tCO2e) from the 2023 base year by 2030. This means a linear annual decrease of 3.6% (50,549 tCO2e) compared with the 2023 base year. The target is compatible with limiting global warming to well below 2 °C.

All the categories with an impact of more than 5% on value chain emissions have been defined as significant Scope 3 categories for Ponsse. The following categories have been defined as significant for Ponsse: 1. Purchased goods and services, 11. Use of sold products, and 12. End-of-life treatment of sold products. These categories covered 98% of the greenhouse gas emissions of Ponsse’s value chain in 2023. In the reduction of emissions in the value chain, the most significant actions are targeted at product development, to reduce emissions during the use of products and to obtain more accurate information about the value chain in order to refine the calculation.

We report on our progress towards our sustainability targets and the actions taken to achieve them in our public Sustainability Report. The assured Sustainability Report is available as part of our Annual Report.
