In 2023, Wilhelmsen reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,186,324,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 7,004,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 4,485,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of their emissions, about 2,176,251,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which includes emissions from the value chain, particularly significant investments. Comparatively, in 2022, total emissions were approximately 2,702,709,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction of about 516,385,000 kg CO2e year-on-year. This reduction is notable, especially in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which decreased from 10,073,000 kg CO2e in 2022 to 11,489,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Wilhelmsen's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA, which provides a broader context for their climate commitments. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed, such as those from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Overall, while Wilhelmsen has made strides in reducing its emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests a need for more structured climate commitments moving forward.
