Company commits to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 60.28 per cent by 2030 and 90 per cent by 2050 across its value chain

Husqvarna Group announced that its greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets have been formally validated by the Science Based Targets initiative, confirming that the company’s climate roadmap aligns with internationally recognised net-zero standards.

The validation covers both Husqvarna Group’s long-term net-zero target and its updated near-term emissions reduction commitments across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions categories.

Under the validated framework, Husqvarna Group has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. The company also committed to reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2 and 3 categories by 60.28 per cent by 2030 and by 90 per cent by 2050, compared with a 2015 baseline year.

The targets encompass emissions from Husqvarna Group’s direct operations, purchased energy and the broader value chain, including supplier activities and product-related emissions, which account for the majority of the company’s climate impact.

The Science Based Targets initiative said the company’s targets are aligned with the SBTi Net-Zero Criteria, which is designed to help corporations establish science-based emissions reduction pathways consistent with limiting global warming.

“Husqvarna Group’s climate targets are both ambitious and credible under the SBTi’s criteria,” said Glen Instone, Chief Executive Officer of Husqvarna Group. “Sustainability is a long-standing strategic priority for Husqvarna Group, and this validation provides a clear, science-based pathway for our continued work to reduce emissions across the entire value chain,” Instone said.

The company said the validated targets will serve as a framework for its ongoing sustainability initiatives and will be integrated into broader business and operational strategy. Husqvarna Group added that the validation strengthens transparency and accountability for customers, investors and other stakeholders seeking measurable climate commitments from global manufacturers.

The company has increasingly focused on reducing emissions across manufacturing operations, product innovation, supply chains and energy use as part of its long-term sustainability agenda.

The validation also reflects growing pressure on industrial companies to establish independently verified decarbonisation pathways amid tightening environmental regulations and investor scrutiny around climate-related disclosures.
