Rtl's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, RTL reported total carbon emissions of approximately 178,900,000 kg CO2e. This figure reflects a slight increase from 2021, where emissions were about 150,000,000 kg CO2e. The emissions data for 2020 indicates a total of approximately 159,800,000 kg CO2e, with a breakdown showing Scope 1 emissions at about 7,300,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 14,300,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions at around 138,200,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, RTL has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while RTL is aware of its emissions, it may not have formal commitments in place to address climate change actively. As a company headquartered in Luxembourg (LU), RTL operates within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon neutrality, yet it currently lacks defined strategies to reduce its overall emissions.
