Adva's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Adva reported total carbon emissions of approximately 321,105 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 937,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 5,393 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 321,105 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, indicating a substantial impact from the supply chain and product use. The breakdown of emissions by region reveals that in Norway, Scope 1 emissions were 383,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at 850,000 kg CO2e (market-based) and 797,000 kg CO2e (location-based), while Scope 3 emissions reached 27,847,000 kg CO2e. In Finland, Scope 1 emissions were 270,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at 183,000 kg CO2e (market-based) and 467,000 kg CO2e (location-based), and Scope 3 emissions at 3,191,000 kg CO2e. Other regions, including the UK, Sweden, and Denmark, also contributed significantly to the overall emissions profile. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Adva has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that while emissions are tracked, there is currently no formalised strategy for reducing them in line with climate science. Adva's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent or related organization, indicating that the figures are independently reported. The company continues to monitor its carbon footprint, but further commitments to reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile.
