In 2018, centrotherm international AG reported total carbon emissions of approximately 131,100,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 13,800,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and about 105,200,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, primarily related to purchased goods and services. Notably, Scope 2 emissions were minimal, recorded at just 0.21 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2017, the company’s total emissions were about 129,800,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 16,800,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 100,800,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions year-on-year. Despite these figures, centrotherm international AG has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate commitment framework. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, centrotherm's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with global efforts to mitigate climate change.
