Posco International Corporation's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Posco International Corporation reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 563,216,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 40,173,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 363,471,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This marked a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 3 categories. In 2022, the company recorded emissions of about 188,761,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 334,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 1,917,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The 2021 figures showed a reduction in emissions, with Scope 1 at approximately 469,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 3,091,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 3,560,000 kg CO2e. The 2020 data indicated even higher emissions, with Scope 1 at 624,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 9,527,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 10,151,000 kg CO2e. Despite these fluctuations, Posco International has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests a need for enhanced transparency and accountability in their climate strategy. As the company continues to navigate its emissions landscape, it remains crucial for Posco International to establish clear and actionable climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
