On Running's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, On Running reported total carbon emissions of approximately 316,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 339,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,609,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 314,752,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which includes emissions from purchased goods and services, use of sold products, and other upstream and downstream activities. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 255,930,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 10,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 232,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching 255,930,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a growing footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are often the largest contributor for companies in the apparel and footwear industry. Despite the increase in emissions, On Running has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability. Headquartered in Switzerland (CH), On Running's climate commitments and emissions data reflect the broader challenges faced by the industry in addressing climate change and reducing overall carbon emissions.
