This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 3,979,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 1,542,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 3,996,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals significant contributions from employee commuting (about 1,714,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 1,831,000 kg CO2e).
