In 2023, Barentz reported total Scope 3 emissions of approximately 401,074 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (about 332,353 kg CO2e) and waste generated in operations (approximately 37,471 kg CO2e). The company has shown a gradual increase in emissions from sold products over the years, with figures rising from about 42,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to approximately 47,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Barentz has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to any climate pledges. The absence of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions indicates a potential focus on indirect emissions, particularly in their supply chain. As the company continues to navigate its climate commitments, further transparency and strategic planning may be essential for addressing its carbon footprint effectively.
