In previous years, emissions have shown a consistent pattern, with 2022 emissions recorded at about 1,878,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising approximately 568,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,024,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The 2021 figures were similar, with total emissions of around 1,877,000,000 kg CO2e, including about 549,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 1,018,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2.

The company has reported greenhouse gas intensity metrics, with values around 349 to 351 kg CO2e per tonne of production in recent years, indicating a focus on monitoring emissions relative to production levels. Overall, while Dongkuk Holdings has made strides in tracking their emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for more robust climate commitments in line with industry standards.
