Kimball's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Kimball reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of approximately 5,480 kg CO2e per employee and a Scope 2 emissions intensity of about 9.72 metric tonnes CO2e per unit produced. This data reflects their commitment to monitoring and managing carbon emissions, although specific total emissions figures were not disclosed for that year. Comparatively, in 2020, the Scope 1 emissions intensity was around 5,120 kg CO2e per employee, and the Scope 2 emissions intensity was approximately 9.26 metric tonnes CO2e per unit. In 2019, these figures were about 4,700 kg CO2e per employee for Scope 1 and 9.22 metric tonnes CO2e per unit for Scope 2. This indicates a trend of increasing emissions intensity in Scope 1, while Scope 2 emissions intensity has shown slight fluctuations over the years. Despite these insights, Kimball has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they disclosed any climate pledges. Their focus appears to be on tracking emissions intensities rather than setting formal reduction goals. As a company headquartered in the US, Kimball's approach aligns with industry standards for transparency in emissions reporting, although further commitments would enhance their climate strategy.
