This figure includes 3,144,120 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 11,985,840 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 26,510,500 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions encompass various categories, including 2,169,640 kg CO2e from employee commuting and 1,238,990 kg CO2e from business travel. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 30,389,500 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 3,038,950 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 11,718,140 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were significantly lower at 3,708,320 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the insurance sector, particularly as global awareness of climate change intensifies. Overall, while the company has made strides in emissions reporting, further transparency regarding their climate action plans would be beneficial for stakeholders and the environment alike.
