In 2023, Cosmax reported total carbon emissions of approximately 17,960,000 kg CO2e from its operations in South Korea. This figure includes 2,640,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 11,404,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions, amounted to 3,916,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from business travel (697,000 kg CO2e) and downstream transportation and distribution (1,455,000 kg CO2e). Cosmax has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives related to its carbon emissions. However, the company is actively engaged in sustainability efforts, as indicated by its comprehensive emissions reporting across all three scopes. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests a potential area for future commitment and improvement in alignment with industry standards for climate action.
