In 2023, Chrono24 GmbH reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,010,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes significant contributions from Scope 1 emissions, which totalled about 600,000 kg CO2e, primarily from mobile combustion (520,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions accounted for approximately 410,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions, including business travel and employee commuting, contributed about 217,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the company’s emissions were notably lower, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 85,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at about 428,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions from business travel at around 155,000 kg CO2e. The 2021 data revealed a stark contrast, with total emissions reaching approximately 6,175,000 kg CO2e, predominantly driven by Scope 3 emissions. Chrono24 GmbH has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions at this time. The absence of cascading data from a parent organisation suggests that the emissions data is solely from Chrono24 GmbH itself. Overall, while the company has made strides in reporting its emissions across all three scopes, it currently lacks defined reduction initiatives or targets to address its carbon footprint.
