Deka's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Deka reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6.23 million tonnes CO2e. This figure includes 1.05 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 5 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 20 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompass a wide range of indirect emissions from their value chain. Over the years, Deka has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. From 2017 to 2022, the company achieved a notable reduction in total emissions, decreasing from about 10.76 million tonnes CO2e in 2017 to 6.23 million tonnes CO2e in 2022. This represents a reduction of approximately 41% over the five-year period. Despite these achievements, Deka has not publicly outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The absence of formal reduction commitments suggests that while Deka is actively working to lower its emissions, further transparency regarding future goals and strategies would enhance its climate commitment profile.
