The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by the use of sold products, which accounted for about 5,661,000,000 kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services, contributing approximately 3,327,000,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, Tetra Pak's total emissions were about 12,345,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in emissions year-on-year. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting a need for further commitment in this area. Tetra Pak's emissions data reflects its ongoing efforts to measure and report on sustainability performance, although the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action. The company continues to focus on improving its sustainability practices, particularly in managing Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of its carbon footprint.
