Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 2,733,410 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 191,710 kg CO2e. The majority of emissions stemmed from Scope 3, which accounted for about 1,084,797,267 kg CO2e. Within Scope 3, significant contributors included purchased goods and services (approximately 870,400,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (around 124,300,000 kg CO2e). In 2022, Altenso's emissions were lower, with total emissions of about 618,070,350 kg CO2e in Scope 3, alongside Scope 1 emissions of approximately 2,444,750 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 368,110 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Currently, Altenso has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that Altenso is in the early stages of addressing its carbon footprint and may need to implement more robust climate commitments moving forward.
