SCIENCE BASED TARGETS
Climate change requires targeted action and clear, science-based goals. At furnipart, we work systematically to reduce our climate footprint – both in our own operations and across the value chain to contribute to the global transition.
In 2025, furnipart’s climate targets were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), confirming that we are aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
SBTi provides companies with a clear and scientific framework for reducing CO₂ emissions. Targets are only approved if they meet SBTi’s criteria, which are based on the latest climate science and the ambitions of the Paris Agreement.
OUR TARGETS
We have set an ambitious and long-term direction for our climate efforts. With science-based targets, we are committed to reducing our total greenhouse gas emissions – both in our own operations and throughout the value chain. Our ambition is clear: significant reductions by 2030 and net-zero by 2050 in accordance with SBTi criteria.
SCOPE 1 & 2
By 2030, furnipart commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% compared to the base year 2021.
SCOPE 3
We commit to reducing absolute Scope 3 emissions across the value chain.
NET-ZERO
Net-zero by 2050 with at least a 90% reduction across all scopes. (Remaining emissions may only be neutralised in accordance with SBTi criteria.)
OUR PATH TO REDUCTIONS
Our climate responsibility starts with us – but it does not end there.
We reduce our direct emissions through concrete actions and long-term investments. At the same time, we focus on the largest part of our climate footprint: the entire value chain.
From material selection and production to transport, packaging, and product lifetime, we integrate responsibility into every decision – including what happens after the sale. For us, it is not only about reducing emissions, but about designing solutions that last longer, enable circularity, and create change.

SCOPE 1 & 2
furnipart’s direct climate impact stems from our office and warehouse facilities in Denmark and our vehicles. In the base year 2021, Scope 1 and 2 primarily included natural gas for heating, fuel for company cars, and purchased electricity and heating.
Although our direct emissions represent a smaller share of our total value chain footprint, they are important and a natural starting point. We have already taken action in line with our reduction plan by switching from natural gas to district heating, installing solar panels on our roof, and gradually transitioning to electric vehicles.

SCOPE 3
The majority of furnipart’s climate footprint lies in Scope 3 and is linked to materials, supplier production, transport, packaging, and product lifecycle. These areas have been a focus for several years, particularly through our Cradle to Cradle certification efforts. Our continued focus is to increase the share of recycled materials in our products, achieve more recycled and recyclable packaging, and continue and expand collaboration with our suppliers on increased use of renewable energy. In addition, we prioritise minimising air freight and shifting more transport to sea freight.
While Scope 3 efforts are often primarily focused upstream in the value chain, downstream emissions after sale are frequently overlooked – particularly product lifetime and end-of-life handling. At furnipart, we are also addressing this part of the value chain. We are therefore developing take-back solutions to ensure that products and materials can increasingly be reused or recycled. The goal is to extend product lifetimes, reduce waste, and minimise the climate impact after sale.
Our Scope 3 initiatives aim to reduce emissions across the value chain while maintaining quality, delivery reliability, and business resilience.

PROGRESS AND REPORTING
The approval of our climate targets commits us to real and significant CO₂ reductions. We annually calculate and report our emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol and publish progress towards our reduction targets.
Targets are continuously reviewed and adjusted in case of significant changes, with updated calculations validated accordingly. To ensure alignment with the latest climate science, calculations and targets are updated at least every five years in accordance with current guidelines.
