In 2022, Valagro reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,968,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 25,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from fugitive emissions, and about 1,896,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which are market-based. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for this year. Comparatively, in 2021, Valagro's total emissions were significantly higher at approximately 719,469,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 558,217,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 137,644,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at about 23,607,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reduction in total emissions from 2021 to 2022. Despite these reductions, Valagro has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for formal reduction targets. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have a comprehensive strategy in place for future reductions. Overall, Valagro's emissions data reflects a positive trend towards lower carbon output, but further commitments and strategies will be essential for continued progress in addressing climate change.
