In 2022, Engel reported significant carbon emissions data, although specific total emissions figures were not disclosed. The company has outlined production emission factors, indicating that their carbon emissions per tonne of plastic are approximately 50,000 kg CO2e, and emissions through power supply are about 1,000 kg CO2e per kWh. These figures reflect the company's commitment to transparency regarding its environmental impact, although detailed scope classifications (Scope 1, 2, or 3) were not specified. Engel's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, ENGEL AUSTRIA GmbH, which is responsible for the overarching sustainability initiatives and performance metrics. However, there are currently no disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Engel, indicating a potential area for future commitment. In previous years, Engel's emissions from power supply were reported at approximately 3,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and 2,000 kg CO2e in 2021 for textile goods production. This data suggests a focus on reducing emissions associated with energy consumption and production processes. Overall, while Engel has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of specific reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
