In 2023, Gretsch-Unitas GmbH reported total carbon emissions of approximately 36,384,000 kg CO2e. The majority of these emissions, about 36,370,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, indicating that they primarily arise from the company's value chain activities. The remaining emissions, approximately 14,000 kg CO2e, are classified as Scope 1 and 2, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources and indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy. In comparison, the company's emissions in 2021 were significantly lower, with a total of approximately 17,000 kg CO2e, all attributed to Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions over the two-year period, primarily driven by Scope 3 activities. Currently, Gretsch-Unitas GmbH has not established any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate commitment framework.
