Gentex's reported carbon emissions

Gentex, a US-based company operating in the motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers industry, has reported its greenhouse gas emissions for several years. For the reporting year 2024, Gentex reported approximately 113 million kg CO2e in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions combined. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 11.1 million kg CO2e, comprising stationary combustion (about 10.1 million kg CO2e), mobile combustion (about 756,000 kg CO2e), and fugitive emissions (about 38,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions, based on the market-based approach, were approximately 103.7 million kg CO2e. The company did not disclose Scope 3 emissions for this period. In 2023, Gentex's Scope 1 emissions totalled approximately 11.7 million kg CO2e, with stationary combustion accounting for about 10.3 million kg CO2e, mobile combustion for approximately 1.3 million kg CO2e, and fugitive emissions for about 86,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, market-based, were approximately 99.9 million kg CO2e. Again, Scope 3 emissions were not disclosed. Gentex has established significant climate commitments and reduction targets. The company aims for carbon neutrality by at least 2049. To achieve this, Gentex has set several absolute reduction targets below 2020 levels: * A near-term target of a 15% reduction by 2026. * A long-term target of a 40% reduction by 2031. * A more ambitious long-term target of a 70% reduction by 2041. These targets encompass all scopes of emissions. The company's sustainability reports highlight these commitments, with data available from various reporting years and sourced directly from Gentex Corporation's disclosures. Gentex has not reported any cascaded data from a parent organisation, indicating direct reporting of its emissions and commitments.
