In 2024, CCU reported total carbon emissions of approximately 79,853,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 21,765,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a decrease from 2023, where emissions were approximately 83,169,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 25,410,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. CCU's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A., which is part of the Heineken N.V. corporate family. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for 2024, but in 2022, it reported approximately 1,377,252,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions, indicating a significant portion of its overall carbon footprint. Despite the reductions in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, CCU has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company is aligned with broader sustainability initiatives from its parent company, Heineken N.V., which includes commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its operations. Overall, CCU's emissions performance shows a trend towards reduction in direct emissions, but further transparency and commitment to comprehensive climate strategies, including Scope 3 emissions, would enhance its sustainability profile.
