Weg's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, WEG, headquartered in Brazil, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 113,425,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources. This includes 49,919,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, which encompasses emissions from mobile combustion, fugitive emissions, and stationary combustion, and 63,506,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, based on a market-based approach. Additionally, their Scope 3 emissions were significant, amounting to approximately 21,803,746,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by the use of sold products. Over the years, WEG has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. The company has consistently reported emissions across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its environmental impact. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while WEG is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to specific reduction goals at this time. Overall, WEG's emissions data reflects its operational scale and the challenges of managing carbon emissions in a global context, particularly in the manufacturing sector.
