Bracell's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Bracell reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,701,669,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 597,545,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 9,611,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 1,094,603,000 kg CO2e. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, reflecting the company's ongoing operational activities. Bracell has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, which may limit its ability to effectively manage and reduce its overall emissions in the future. The company’s emissions data from previous years shows fluctuations, with total emissions recorded at approximately 1,555,114,000 kg CO2e in 2022, 636,549,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and 342,384,000 kg CO2e in 2020. This trend highlights the need for Bracell to establish clear and actionable climate strategies to mitigate its environmental impact. Overall, while Bracell is actively monitoring its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
