In 2023, Doosan Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 75.2 million tonnes CO2e, comprising about 24.2 million tonnes from Scope 1 and around 50.97 million tonnes from Scope 2 emissions. The company has also acknowledged Scope 3 emissions, which include upstream and downstream activities, amounting to approximately 49.9 million tonnes CO2e. Doosan's emissions data shows a commitment to transparency, although it has faced challenges in achieving high scores in climate-related assessments, receiving a score of "F" in several CDP evaluations. The company has not publicly set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other frameworks, indicating a need for more robust climate action strategies. Historically, Doosan's emissions have fluctuated, with a notable reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2014, when they totalled about 78.9 million tonnes CO2e, to the current figures. This reflects an ongoing effort to manage and reduce their carbon footprint, although specific reduction initiatives or targets have not been detailed. Overall, while Doosan has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets and the low scores in climate assessments highlight areas for improvement in their climate commitments and sustainability practices.
