Less carbon. 

Across the value chain. 

Our carbon footprint reaches far beyond our own operations. It starts with the materials and components we source, continues through our own operations, and extends to how our products are used. That is why our approach looks across the value chain. Our work focuses on the areas where our emissions occur and where change can be made: working with suppliers and materials upstream, improving our own operations, and reducing emissions associated with the use of our products. Electrification, battery technology and product efficiency are important parts of this work, alongside renewable energy, energy efficiency and closer collaboration across our supply chain.

-60%

Husqvarna AB commits to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 60% by 2030 , from a 2015 base year, and to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050 (including a 90% absolute reduction by 2050, from a 2015 base year). This target excludes carbon credits offsetting. Our near- and long-term targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Our approach: Reducing emissions across the value chain

Our 2030 Carbon target is an absolute emissions reduction target. This means we measure the change in total greenhouse gas emissions rather than emissions relative to sales, production or another business metric. The target combines Scope 1, Scope 2 and material Scope 3 emissions and covers our most significant sources of emissions - from purchased goods and our own operations to the use of our products. Greenhouse gas removals, carbon credits and avoided emissions are not counted towards achieving the target. We track progress internally every month and disclose our performance externally each quarter.

Where our emissions come from

Most of our carbon footprint sits outside our own operations. In 2025, 99.1% of our greenhouse gas emissions came from Scope 3. Our two material Scope 3 categories, according to the GHG Protocol, are Category 1 Purchased goods and services and Category 11 Use of sold products. Understanding where these emissions occur helps us to focus our efforts where they can have the greatest impact.

Upstream - Materials & Suppliers
Own Operations – Our Facilities
Downstream – Product Use

Materials & Suppliers

Addressing emissions before own operations begins.

The materials and components in our products account for a significant part of our carbon footprint. In 2025, purchased goods and services represented approximately 31% of our total greenhouse gas emissions.

Reducing these emissions depends on changes across our supply chain. Suppliers' production technologies, their sources of energy and the availability of lower-carbon materials all influence the footprint of the products we make.

Our Facilities

Reducing emissions where we have direct control.

Our own operations account for less than 1% of our total greenhouse gas emissions, but this is where we have the most direct control.

We work to reduce these emissions by increasing the use of renewable electricity and replacing fossil fuels with renewable alternatives where possible.

This includes improvements to production processes and facilities, electrification, more efficient heating and cooling, and changes to the energy we purchase and generate.

Some changes can happen quickly. Others depend on replacing or retrofitting machinery, heating systems and vehicles over time.

In 2025, 46% of the total energy and 85% of the total electricity consumed across our operations came from renewable sources.

Product Use

Reducing emissions during the use phase of our products.

The use of our products is the largest part of our carbon footprint. In 2025, it represented approximately 68% of our total greenhouse gas emissions.

A key part of reducing these emissions is the transition from petrol-powered products to electric alternatives.

We continue to expand our battery-powered portfolio while improving product efficiency, battery performance and charging technologies. We are also exploring the potential of alternative fuels.
But the transition does not depend on technology alone.

Battery-powered products still have indirect emissions associated with the electricity used to charge them. These emissions vary depending on the electricity mix in different countries. The pace of change also depends on customer adoption of new technologies and their accessibility in different markets.

This means that reducing emissions from product use requires progress both within and beyond Husqvarna Group.

From target to action

There is no single lever that will deliver our Carbon target. Upstream, progress depends on suppliers, renewable energy and changes in the materials we use. In our own operations, it means continuing to improve energy efficiency and moving away from fossil energy. Downstream, it means developing our product portfolio, advancing electrification and improving product and battery efficiency. Together, these actions form the basis of our approach to reducing emissions across the value chain.

Measuring our progress

Our Carbon target gives us a clear direction — and we measure our progress along the way. In 2015, our greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain were approximately 8.9 million tonnes CO₂e. By the end of 2025, they had fallen to approximately 4.2 million tonnes CO₂e, a reduction of 53%. Our near-term target is to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by 2030, and our long-term target is to reduce them by 90% by 2050, both compared with 2015, with the remaining residual emissions to be neutralized via carbon removals in line with the SBTi Net-Zero Standard to achieve net-zero by 2050.

We calculate our emissions using established methodologies and emission factors, in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard. As with any greenhouse gas inventory, some calculations rely on estimates and assumptions.

The level of uncertainty differs across the value chain, and we continue to develop our data and calculation methods to improve accuracy over time. We track performance internally every month and disclose our progress externally each quarter.
