In 2023, Befesa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,550,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 880,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 249,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 421,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked an increase from the previous year's total emissions of about 1,411,000,000 kg CO2e. Befesa's emissions data from 2022 indicated that their Scope 1 emissions were approximately 882,000,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were around 155,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled about 374,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, reflecting a comprehensive approach to tracking their carbon footprint. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives documented in their climate commitments. This lack of defined reduction strategies may indicate an opportunity for Befesa to enhance its sustainability efforts and align with industry standards for climate action. Overall, Befesa's emissions data highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and potential strategic initiatives to address their carbon footprint effectively.
