Uniper's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Uniper reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19,400,000,000 kg CO2e across various scopes. Specifically, their emissions included about 8,600,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, which encompasses direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. The company also disclosed Scope 2 emissions, which amounted to approximately 3,923,000 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were reported at around 771,000 kg CO2e, covering indirect emissions from the value chain. Uniper has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Uniper is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have established a comprehensive plan for significant emissions reductions. The company operates within the energy sector, which is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact, particularly regarding carbon emissions. As such, Uniper's future commitments and strategies will be critical in aligning with global climate goals and addressing stakeholder expectations for sustainability.
