Gentex

Gentex Corporation, based in the US and operating within the motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers industry, has reported its carbon emissions for several years, primarily focusing on Scope 1 and Scope 2.

For the year 2024, Gentex reported approximately 103,630,700 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions (market-based), alongside Scope 1 emissions comprising about 11,170,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion, mobile combustion, and fugitive emissions.

In 2023, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 99,972,000 kg CO2e (market-based), with Scope 1 emissions totalling about 11,756,000 kg CO2e. This represents a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2024.

Looking back, in 2022, Gentex reported Scope 2 emissions of approximately 93,291,000 kg CO2e (market-based) and Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 11,742,000 kg CO2e.

Gentex has established several climate commitments. The company aims for a 15% reduction in emissions below 2020 levels by 2026 (near-term) and a significant 70% reduction by 2041 (long-term). Furthermore, Gentex is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by at least 2049, with an overarching goal of 40% reduction below 2020 levels by 2031. These targets encompass all scopes. Specific Scope 1 and Scope 2 reduction targets have also been set, aligning with the overall goals. For instance, Scope 1 emissions are targeted for a 15% reduction by 2026 and 40% by 2031, with a further 70% reduction by 2041. Similarly, Scope 2 emissions have the same reduction targets: 15% by 2026, 40% by 2031, and 70% by 2041, all relative to 2020 levels.

While Scope 3 emissions data is not currently available, the company's reporting indicates that purchased goods and services are a noted missing data point in this regard.
