Sustainability ambitions and targets
At Scania, there is no separate strategy for sustainability. Instead, sustainability is at the core of our business strategy aiming to align our targets and activities with sustainable development.
Scania measure and follow up on our sustainability performance in relation to set targets.
The targets and progress reported on this page refer to Scania’s 2025 sustainability goals, including our science-based climate targets.
To continue driving the shift to sustainable transport, we have also established new decarbonisation targets for 2032.
Read more about our updated targets and climate roadmap on our decarbonisation targets page.
For a complete set of disclosures including definitions, way of working and reporting principles please see the Sustainability statement.
Climate targets
To manage our climate impact and mitigate risk, we are committed to reducing emissions throughout our entire value chain and across all relevant scopes. Scania focuses on its material emissions impacts across three key areas: own operations, vehicle in use and the supply chain. Climate targets have been established for own operations and vehicles in use, while supply chain emissions are addressed through Scania’s broader transition plan and decarbonisation efforts

| 2015 | 166,296 | 100.0 |
Comment on this year’s outcome
A 53.7 percent reduction in emissions from own operations has been achieved compared with the 2015 base year, driven by increased electrification of the company fleet and the use of renewable fuels and fossil-free electricity. This represents an important milestone, while further measures are required to support long-term emissions reductions.

| 2015 | 100.0 |
Comment on this year’s outcome
Despite not being on track towards 20 percent reduction in 2025, a large improvement is seen since 2023. The 2024, despite being on par with 2023, contains a negative impact by a sales mix change where a larger share of deliveries went to geographies and operations with higher CO2/km. 2024 shows a reduction of 11.1 percent since 2015 and we expect further improvement in the coming years with continued focus on electric vehicles, further ramp up of the Scania Super - Scania's most advanced combustion engine powertrain, renewable fuels and the efficient use of our products. The result reported here refers to units produced in 2024.
* Target scope: Scope of the target is Scania’s global own operations, including industrial operations and its commercial network. The target is an absolute reduction in emissions by 2025 compared to base year 2015.
** Data: Scope 1 and 2 (GHG) emissions are disclosed in accordance with the principles in the GHG Protocol and uses the market-based scope 2 method. Considering base year 2015, scope 2 represents 52 percent of the emissions and scope 1 represents 48 percent [34a, b]. Due to time constrains, parts of data are estimated (read more on page 49 in Scania's Sustainabilty statement). Historical values, including base year 2015, have been recalculated to reflect structural changes related to acquisition and disposal of investments that occurred in 2025. Restatement includs changes in organizational boundaries following changes in operations and business model of the Lots Group. Lots emissions previously reported in scope 1 and 2 are now reported in scope 3.
*** Target scope: Refers to climate emissions indicator, scope 3 category 11 (use of sold products), for all trucks and buses produced by Scania globally in a calendar year, calculated in a well-to-wheel perspective as CO2e/vehicle-km (intensity target). Target performance calculation is based on produced vehicles in 2024 compared to produced vehicles in 2015.
**** Data: Input data is CO2e/km from operative months within 12 months and starting after the month of production, causing reporting to lag on one year. For absolute numbers of scope 3 category 11 see page 44 in Scania's Sustainabilty statement. Historical values have been restated to reflect updates in the well-to-wheel emission factors.
Logistics
The transportation of goods is an essential part of Scania’s operations — moving materials from suppliers to factories and delivering vehicles and spare parts to customers worldwide. Land transport – which is mainly carried out by trucks, trailers, and trains, but also via ferries and barges on short-sea and inland waterways – represents the largest share of Scania logistics activities and where the majority of the emissions occur. These emissions form part of Scania’s upstream scope 3 emissions and are reported separately to reflect the operational levers available within logistic.
CO2e emissions from land transport* **
Scope 3

| 2024 | 155,668 | 43 |
| 2023 | 175,696 | 50 |
| 2022 | 154,712 | 52 |
| 2016 | 165,969 | 65 |
Comment on this year’s outcome
In 2025, CO2e emissions per transported tonne for land transport amounted to 43 kg CO2e per transported tonne, broadly in line with the 2024 level and representing a 33.8 percent reduction compared to the 2016 baseline. Total land transport emissions decreased to 140,494 tonnes of CO2e, partly explained by a lower transported volume in 2025 compared to 2024.
Performance varied across the transport network. Several areas achieved further emission reductions through ongoing initiatives such as improved load efficiency, the implementation of more sustainable transport solutions, and continued supplier and route optimisation. At the same time, other areas experienced increases in both total CO2e emissions and CO2e per transported tonne, mainly driven by production volume shifts and periods of less optimal transportation solutions.
*Target scope: Refers to part of scope 3 GHG emissions. The target is reduction by 2025 in total emissions of well-to-wheel CO2e in kg from Scania’s land transport per transported tonne (intensity target) compared to base year 2016.
**Data: The methodology is in line with the ISO14083 standard as well as the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework. Included are road, short-sea and train transport of production material to our factories, our packaging network, transport of vehicles to the first address according to International Commercial Terms (INCOTERM) and transport of spare parts to our workshops.
Energy efficiency
Energy at Scania is managed using a three-step process. First, eliminating energy waste – energy that is used even though no value is created; second, using energy smarter – getting the same result but using less energy; third, seeing which energy source is used and if possible, switching to a renewable one.

| 2022 | 614,928 | 7.0 |
| 2015 | 556,323 | 7.0 |
Comment on this year’s outcome
Scania has reduced energy consumption per vehicle produced by 14.6 percent compared with 2015. Despite this progress, reaching the 25 percent reduction target has proved challenging as production levels and operational conditions evolved differently than planned. Lower production volumes and changes in the production mix have influenced intensity results. Scania continues to improve energy efficiency in its operations, with several ongoing initiatives expected to deliver further reductions in the coming years.

| 2015 | 19.33 |
Comment on this year’s outcome
During 2025, 99.96 percent of Scania's facilities were run
from fossil-free energy. Scania's level of fossil-free energy
has been close to 100 percent since 2020, however, we will
continue to track the level of electricity and always aim for
the target of 100 percent.
*Target scope: Refers to the use of electricity, heat and fuels in stationary systems at Scania premises including fuel consumed for engine testing. Energy used in vehicles is not included except for electric vehicles charged at Scania premises. Target is a reduction in energy used per produced vehicle by 2025 compared to base year 2015.
**Target scope: Refers to the fossil-free electricity purchased and internally generated, that is used to run Scania's own industrial operations in relation to share of MWh for Scania CV’s production units and regional product centres. It covers the renewable electricity included in Scania’s production units and regional product centres. Target is to run 100 percent of own operations on fossil-free electricity where necessary prerequisites are in place.
***Data: Necessary prerequisites in place means technical infrastructure and availability of fossil-free supply.
Water
The purpose of Scania’s sustainable water management efforts is to reduce the usage of fresh water and conserve resources by using water saving technology and processes, while also reusing and recycling water. This will further reduce the environmental impact of wastewater contaminants on surface water and groundwater. By establishing transparency on water usage through measuring points and material flow analyses, combined with installing water saving technologies Scania actively tries to preserve both water quality and reduce the usage. With modern treatment equipment we also avoid water contamination and treat the wastewater that do get contaminated in a sewage plant before entering natural water bodies

| 2022 | 571,687 | 6.5 |
| 2015 | 490,812 | 6.2 |
Comment on this year’s outcome
Use of water per produced vehicle decreased further in 2025 to 4.79 cubic metres. The reduced need for freshwater in production has been achieved through increased use of internally recycled water and continued efficiency improvements. Water usage per vehicle has fallen by approximately 22.8 percent compared to the previous year. During 2026, focus will be on initiating additional actions to further reduce water consumption.
*Target scope: Scania's production units and logistics centres globally.
**Data: Total amount of freswater used divided with the number of produced vehicles.
Waste
Scania has a target in place to increase reuse and recycling within production: by 2025 we aim to reduce the amount of waste material that is not recycled by 50 percent from the baseline level in 2015. To support this target, all units have studied material flows to identify ways to reduce waste and increase recycling of materials.

| 2016 | 299 |
Comment on this year’s outcome
Despite ongoing efforts, Scania has not met the target.
Non-recycled waste has increased by approximately 49
percent compared to the 2015 baseline. This trend is primarily
linked to: operational changes to new foundry operations,
challenges in the sand recycling process, as well as
limited market demand for certain recovered materials.
Several initiatives are underway to improve waste handling
and strengthen collaboration with suppliers. These efforts
aim to increase material recovery and reduce landfill
dependency in the coming years.
*Target scope: Scania’s industrial operations (Operational sites are in Luleå, Södertälje, Oskarshamn, Słupsk, Angers, Zwolle, Meppel, São Bernardo, Tucumán, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Bangalore and Johannesburg). Target is reduction in waste not recycled per produced vehicle (intensity target) by 2025 compared to 2015.
**Data: Sum of waste sent for energy recovery and waste sent for landfill divided by the total number of units produced.
Diversity and inclusion*
Scania has set targets to support the objective of our One People Policy, and positively influence outcomes for our employees and business. This is reflected in our diversity and inclusion targets. The target for the diversity and inclusion (D&I) index promotes equal opportunity for all employees and thereby focuses on improving employees’ perception of D&I within Scania. At the same time, the target for gender diversity in management promotes equal opportunity and the improvement in the diversity of management within our workforce.
Both targets support Scania's purpose and business results in driving the shift towards a sustainable transport system, and thereby contributing towards people, society, as well as the environment.
Scania is committed to ensuring our targets maximise social and economic value while minimising negative social impacts.

Comment on this year’s outcome
The 2025 annual target of 25.8 percent female representation in management was not achieved. At yearend, the share amounted to 23.2 percent, which is 2.6 percentage points below the target. Across Scania overall, the female share in management remained broadly flat, ranging between 23 percent and 24 percent during the reporting period. A few key reasons why our female share has not reached the set target are that we have moved both TRATON Financial Services and TRATON R&D into TRATON from Scania during 2025. Those two organisations have a higher proportion of female managers, which is why this has impacted our total female manager population during 2025. We remain to target a two percent increase in female managers during 2026.
* Targets are pursued where legally permissible and in accordance with applicable local laws; implementation may vary by jurisdiction. Statements in this report apply only if they do not violate the applicable law, including laws and regulations of the United States of America.
**Target scope: Perception of Scania’s diversity and inclusion climate from employee listening tool My Voice. The KPI is a weighted result of four questions from the survey concerning Scania employees’ perception of the diversity and inclusion climate at their workplace. The target is to have a score of at least 85 every year.
***Data: The score is based on the D&I-related questions within the employee listening tool My Voice. All employees have the opportunity to participate in the survey. The survey participation rate was 87 percent in 2025. The survey is revised on an annual basis to ensure that the right questions are being asked. External and economic factors can influence employees’ responses within the survey which can also have an impact on the score.
****Target scope: Target is to increase gender diversity with 2 percent per year on all management levels.
*****Data: Performance is measured on a quarterly basis. For all year-on-year targets the baseline year is 2024, target year is 2025. The target is global, focusing on our own operations. Macroeconomic factors can influence progress towards overarching targets. Scania needs to maintain momentum towards meeting targets when facing external factors that decrease the focus on diversity and inclusion.
Safety and health
Scania has set targets to support the objectives of our One People, Safety and Health, Human Rights Policies and Code of Conduct. Our safety and health targets are as follows: Healthy attendance of 97 percent year-on-year: Scania's target on healthy attendance promotes safe and healthy working conditions for our employees.
LTIR, Lost Time Injury Rate: Number of work-related accidents with sick leave per million worked hours, yearon-year (target is five or fewer). Scania's target on accidents promotes workplace safety for our employees.
Both targets support Scania’s ambition to driving business value, minimising the negative social impacts within our workforce and ensure people and society remain a focus in the transition to a sustainable transport system.

Comment on this year’s outcome
The number of work-related accidents with sick leave in 2025 has reached 8.40. The increase in LTIR in 2025 is mainly due to improved reporting practices.
Lost time injury (LTI) includes lost-time related to any work-related accident that results in an employee being unable to perform their regular work for at least one full scheduled workday or shift after the accident occurred.
*Target scope: Target is to have at least 97 percent healthy attendance every year. It is based on the hours of attendance relative to defined total working hours for Scania’s global operations and all Scania's employees.
**Data: Challenges include data collection and quality within the system to measure performance against the target.
***Target scope: Target is to have 5 or fewer occupational accidents with sick-leave per million worked hours every year. It is measured as the total number of work-related accidents resulting in sick leave per one million working hours, covering Scania’s employees in operations in Sweden and in Industrial Operations globally (inclusive regional product centres and logistic centres). From 2023 it also covers accidents in commercial operation units.
****Data: Challenges include data collection and quality within the technical systems to measure performance against the target.
