Question Id: E1-3_01
Demant's Transition Plan currently focuses on five decarbonisation levers, each including one or more mitigation actions:
Energy consumption reduction and efficiency in own operations
- Mitigation actions: Decrease in energy consumption, Increase in energy efficiency
- Time horizon: From short to long term
- Geographical scope: Global
Renewable electricity for own operations
- Mitigation actions: Use of on-site renewable electricity, Use of off-site renewable electricity
- Time horizon: From short to medium term
- Geographical scope: Global
Vehicle fleet electrification
- Mitigation actions: Transition to electric vehicles for already existing fleet in six prioritised European countries, Transition to electric vehicles for fleet in remaining countries
- Time horizon: From short to long term
- Geographical scope: Global
Supplier engagement programme
- Mitigation actions: Setting a supplier target for improvement of the environmental performance of purchased goods and services
- Time horizon: From short to medium term
- Geographical scope: Global (determined by the location of the suppliers onboarded to the programme)
Use of less climate-intensive transport modes
- Mitigation actions: Shift from air freight transport to less climate intensive transport modes
- Time horizon: From short to long term
- Geographical scope: To be determined
The plan does not explicitly mention the incorporation of nature-based solutions.

Lever 3: Vehicle fleet electrification - In 2024, the Sustainability Board approved a new plan to speed up electrification of Demant’s vehicle fleet, replacing internal combustion engine vehicles with electrical vehicles. Phase one is expected to avoid the emission of 2,675 tonnes of CO2 in 2030. Lever 4: Supplier engagement programme - In 2024, the Hearing Aids business area launched a new supplier engagement programme to collect primary data from the category of purchased goods and services. Lever 5: Use of less climate-intensive transport modes - The Diagnostics business area set a target for 5% GHG emissions reduction in 2024 compared to 2023. They exceeded the target by 11% and reduced transportation emissions intensity from 0.14 kg CO2e/DKK spent in 2023 to 0.11 kg CO2e/DKK spent in 2024.
