Gentex's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Gentex reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,328,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 sources, which include mobile combustion and stationary combustion emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 emissions for this year. Over the years, Gentex has shown fluctuations in its emissions, with Scope 1 emissions peaking at about 8,925,000 kg CO2e in 2018 and Scope 2 emissions reaching approximately 102,758,000 kg CO2e in 2019. Despite these figures, Gentex has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to formalise a strategy for significant emissions reductions. This context highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and potential future commitments to align with industry standards for climate action.
