Materion Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Materion Corporation reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 200,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 73,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 127,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight increase in emissions compared to previous years, where in 2021, emissions were about 189,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 71,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 118,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, the total was approximately 178,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 66,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 112,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Materion has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of commitments such as Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or documented reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised strategies in place to address them. As a result, Materion's climate commitments remain somewhat unclear within the context of industry standards for emissions reduction.
