Carbios's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Carbios reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,392,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 100,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 168,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 6,123,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has shown a commitment to transparency in its emissions reporting, disclosing data across all three scopes. Comparatively, in 2022, Carbios's total emissions were about 4,757,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 68,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 37,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 4,757,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, the total was approximately 2,540,000 kg CO2e, comprising 40,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 120,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 2,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This indicates a notable increase in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 3, which is often the largest contributor for many companies. Despite the increase in emissions, Carbios has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it participated in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. Carbios operates independently, with no emissions data cascaded from a parent or related organization. The company is headquartered in France and continues to focus on its sustainability efforts within the context of the broader industry.
