This data indicates a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting, although no Scope 3 emissions data has been disclosed. Comparatively, in 2021, Dongwon's emissions were about 278,127,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 contributing 128,510,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 149,615,000 kg CO2e.

This suggests a general trend of increasing emissions over the years reported. Despite the emissions data, Dongwon has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to any science-based targets (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Overall, while Dongwon has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of reduction commitments highlights the need for a more robust approach to climate action.
