Recognising how important immediate climate action is, we at Husqvarna Group aim to reduce the absolute carbon footprint of our value chain by 35% by 2025 already, compared to 2015. This target is approved by the science-based targets initiative and supports the 1.5 °C global warming scenario.
This means:
absolute target: decrease our emissions by 35% regardless of company growth.
no carbon offsets: we do not account for carbon offsetting in reporting against the target. The target will be achieved by our own reduction activities in the value chain.
Husqvana Group has also committed itself to net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.
Our 2025 target reflects total CO2 emission reductions across the value chain, from suppliers and operations to transportation and product use. Hence, our target covers not only Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions but also Scope 3 emissions, as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Vehicles, machines, energy used in boilers/furnaces
Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions occuring from sources that are owned or controlled by the company.We measure emissions from our vehicles, machines, and energy used in boilers/furnaces.
Purchased electricity and district heating
Scope 2 emissions are emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. Due to the nature of our operations, our Scope 2 emissions only cover purchased electricity and district heating.
Suppliers, transport and product use
Scope 3 emissions are emissions that a company does not control, but is indirectly responsible for, up and down its value chain, such as emissions from purchased goods and services, transportation, employee commuting etc. We measure emissions resulting from our suppliers, transport and product use.
According to the Group's carbon footprint, our greatest impact occurs during the use of our products.
For product use, CO2 emissions are calculated over the products’ projected lifetime.
For suppliers, their Scope 1 and 2 emissions data is drawn from CDP supply chain disclosures. In cases where suppliers do not report their CO2 emissions, emissions are extrapolated from CDP data.
In transport, we include all transport the Group pays for – through which we have the most significant CO2 impact – and where we have access to data. This spans all air and ocean freight and a share of road and rail transport.
Our target is validated by the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi), a key standard for corporate CO2 management and is in line with society’s ambition to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 °C.
Husqvarna Group has again been recognized as a ‘Supplier Engagement Leader’ by the CDP in 2022, for our efforts to engage suppliers in our climate action.
Emissions are aggregated on Group level and progress is reported to Group management as well as externally every quarter. Since 2015, we have achieved a total reduction in CO2 emissions of 44%, significantly surpassing the target we initially set for 2025. This 44% reduction is the result of the combined emission reductions across all scopes we measure, as outlined below.
Emisijas tiek apkopotas Grupas līmenī, un par progresu tiek ziņots Grupas vadībai, un katru ceturksni ārēji.
Husqvarna grupa laikā no 2015. līdz 2023 . gadam ir samazinājusi darbības radītās CO2 emisijas par 81%, neraugoties uz pārdošanas apjomu pieaugumu par 47%.
Emisiju samazinājums tiek panākts, efektīvāk ražojot, vadot elektriskos transportlīdzekļus un izmantojot atjaunojamos enerģijas avotus.
Nepietiek tikai ar emisiju novēršanu no mūsu pašu darbībām. Mūsu galvenais emisiju avots ir mūsu produktu izmantošana.
Husqvarna grupa vēlas vadīt nozari zemu oglekļa emisiju risinājumu jomā un tāpēc izstrādā sistemātisku ceļu elektrifikācijai, lai sasniegtu šo mērķi. CO2 emisijas no produktu izmantošanas laikposmā no 2015. līdz 2023. gadam tika samazinātas par 43 %.
Tā kā mūsu piegādātāju darbības ir ārpus mūsu tiešās kontroles, tā ir arī vissarežģītākā mūsu mērķa daļa. Mēs pieprasām piegādātājiem izmērīt CO2 emisijas un ziņot par tām CDP; noteikt pasākumus emisiju samazināšanai; un noteikt samazināšanas mērķus. CO2 emisijas no piegādātājiem laikposmā no 2015. līdz 2023. gadam tika samazinātas par 46 %.
Laikposmā no 2015. līdz 2023. gadam transporta radītās CO2 emisijas tika samazinātas par 38 %. Mēs strādājam, lai vēl vairāk optimizētu mūsu transporta tīklu, ieviešot viedāku iepakojumu lielākai transporta apjoma efektivitātei, uzlabotai piedāvājuma un pieprasījuma plānošanai.
Visu GARDENA ar fosilo kurināmo darbināmo rīku pakāpeniska izņemšana no aprites kā stratēģisks lēmums ir būtiski ietekmējusi mūsu emisiju samazināšanu. Mēs veiksmīgi izgājām no tā līdz 2024. gadam, ļaujot mums pilnībā koncentrēties uz ar elektrību darbināmiem dārzkopības instrumentiem
