Fuchs's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Fuchs reported total carbon emissions of approximately 115,813,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 38,945,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 22,243,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 54,626,000 kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services contributing about 25,172,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, Fuchs' total emissions were about 123,892,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight reduction in emissions year-on-year. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its climate impact. Despite these figures, Fuchs has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal reduction targets suggests that while the company is monitoring its emissions, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
