Epiroc on the list of Europe’s Climate Leaders 2024

For "the fourth edition of Europe’s Climate Leaders — compiled by the Financial Times in partnership with data provider Statista — shows that growing numbers of European companies are already making headway in cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions."

Scope 1 and 2 emissions — “core emissions” in the table — come respectively from a company’s own operations and from the energy it uses, while intensity is defined as tonnes of emissions of CO₂-equivalent per €1mn of revenue.
