AMBITION
Together with our 9,406 farmer owners we launched our ambitious climate targets in March 2019. The ambition is to become
carbon net zero by 2050 and to reach our Science Based Targets by 2030, reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30 per cent in
absolute terms, and scope 3 emissions by 30 per cent per kilo milk. The Science Based Targets are aligned with climate science
and define a clear path to further improve Arla's climate performance.
OUR AMBITION COVERS THREE THEMES
Better climate

Scope 2
1%
Scope 1 emissions relate to the activities under our direct control.
They include transport using Arla's vehicles, and emissions from Arla's
production facilities.
Scope 2 emissions are the indirect emissions caused by the energy
that Arla purchases, i.e. electricity, steam, heating or cooling.
Scope 3 emissions are the indirect emissions from purchased goods
and services (e.g raw milk from our owners, packaging and external
transport), but also from waste handling (eg. recycling) at our sites.
