This reflects a significant increase from previous years, where total emissions were about 14,165,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 14,099,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Cosmax's emissions profile indicates a reliance on energy-intensive operations, particularly evident in Scope 2 emissions, which account for the majority of their carbon footprint. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions, nor have they committed to any science-based targets (SBTi) or climate pledges. Overall, while Cosmax's emissions have fluctuated over the years, their lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
