Wärtsilä has enhanced its ‘Set for 30′ decarbonisation ambitions by committing to a new goal of lowering direct suppliers’ GHG emissions by 25 per cent by 2030.
This aim focuses on Wärtsilä’s Tier 1 direct suppliers and includes scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from deliveries to the company.
With this, Wärtsilä enhances its decarbonisation ambitions to include scope 3 GHG emissions.

Jan Kåre Helgeland, Director, Supply Management, said: “Suppliers are an integral part of the total value chain of Wärtsilä’s products and services. Supply chain’s GHG emissions are the second-biggest scope 3 category in our value chain.
“Therefore, including supply chain emissions into our ‘Set for 30’ targets is the logical next step on our journey to shape the decarbonisation of marine and energy industries.
“By focusing on our direct Tier 1 suppliers, we cover 75 per cent of our entire supplier base spend. Also, by working together with our selected suppliers on target-setting, we ensure the largest possible impact.”
The new target is relative and the baseline for the target is 2024 GHG emissions.
The data for the 2024 baseline will be collected from Wärtsilä’s Tier 1 suppliers during 2025, while the exact methodology for following up on progress against the target is being developed.
In 2023, Wärtsilä launched the marine sector’s first four-stroke engine-based ammonia solution.
