DSV has approved science-based targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions. These reductions will play an important role in limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, the threshold under which many dangerous outcomes of planetary warming may be avoided.
By 2030, we are committed to:
- reducing our absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by 40% (baseline year is 2019)
- reducing our absolute scope 3 emissions by 30% (baseline year is 2019)
The Science Based Targets initiative is a joint initiative by the Carbon Disclosure Project, the UN Global Compact, the World Resources Institute and World Wildlife Federation, and is designed to increase corporate ambition towards climate protection by introducing a new approach to corporate GHG emissions reduction target-setting.
Our commitment to the Science Based Target initiative not only guides our sustainability efforts, but also ensures that our low-carbon transformation is aligned with climate science.

What is a ‘science-based target’? |
|
Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. This includes company facilities and company vehicles. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heat or cooling. Scope 3 emissions are all indirect emissions (not included in scope 2) that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, including both upstream and downstream emissions. Such as the extraction and production of purchased materials and fuels, transport-related activities in vehicles not owned or controlled by the reporting entity. |
