Climate Accounting Emission Developments 2019 - 2021(ton CO2e)
Laerdal is measuring all aspects of emission in all parts of the organization. The emission numbers include scope 1, 2 and 3.
Even though several important emission reduction initiatives have been taken, we have seen an increase in our absolute emissions due to;
- Increases in business. Compared to the 2019 baseline, business has increased by 30% and emissions 15%.
- Increase in emissions due to Covid19 pandemic disruptions and increase in unplanned air shipments.
- Important improvements to materials are concluded but not yet reflected in present sales and emission numbers. This work will be further strengthened by the detailed Life Cycle Assessment conducted on our most important products
In relative numbers, we see that carbon emission has increased by 15% while the business has grown by 30% from 2019 - 2021
