Codan's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Codan reported total carbon emissions of approximately 119,720 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 19,412 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 13,211 kg CO2e, and a significant Scope 3 total of about 66,135,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on upstream activities, particularly in the categories of capital goods and the use of sold products. In 2022, Codan's emissions were approximately 385,628 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 4,790 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 13,724 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year included business travel and employee commuting, contributing to the overall footprint. The 2021 data shows total emissions of about 623,000 kg CO2e, with all emissions reported under Scope 1 and 2, indicating a need for further clarity on Scope 3 emissions in that year. Despite these figures, Codan has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates within a context where many organisations are increasingly setting ambitious climate goals, yet Codan's current strategy appears to lack formal commitments to emissions reduction. Overall, Codan's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which represent a significant portion of their carbon footprint, while also indicating a need for clearer climate commitments moving forward.
