SKF's own operations

SKF’s own operations, such as manufacturing, warehousing, sales, R&D, etc. generates carbon emissions in two ways:

Direct emissions from combustion processes in boilers for building heating, the heat treatment furnaces or in company cars. (Scope 1)

• Indirect emissions coming from the power generation of the electricity and district heat needed to run SKF’s production machines, light up our plants and offices, load the batteries of the forklifts in our warehouses, creating a good indoor climate in our buildings, powering our computers, etc. (Scope 2)



  • Reduce the energy use per production output by 5% year-on-year during the period (2012-2016).
