Gentherm Incorporated's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Gentherm Incorporated reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,743,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 1,934,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 31,955,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and a significant 1,743,000,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The total emissions from Scope 1 and 2 combined were about 33,889,000 kg CO2e. Gentherm has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from parent organisations. The company has not reported any emissions data for the years 2021 and 2024, indicating a potential gap in their emissions tracking or reporting. The company’s emissions efficiency metrics include approximately 0.0029 kg CO2e per mile driven for their Climate Control Seat (CCS®) and about 0.0000177 kg CO2e per million dollars of revenue in 2022. Overall, while Gentherm has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of clear reduction commitments or targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action and transparency in their sustainability efforts.
