EKZ's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, EKZ reported total carbon emissions of approximately 63,730,000 kg CO2e, comprising 6,373,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 28,017,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 31,862,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marks a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which reflects the emissions from the entire value chain. In 2022, EKZ's emissions were about 57,700,000 kg CO2e, with 5,770,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 30,410,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 28,234,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The trend indicates a growing challenge in managing emissions, especially in Scope 3, which is often the largest contributor to total emissions for many organisations. Despite these figures, EKZ has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive strategies to address climate change. Overall, EKZ's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing efforts to monitor and reduce carbon footprints, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which require collaboration across the supply chain.
