Gretsch-Unitas GmbH's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Gretsch-Unitas GmbH reported total carbon emissions of approximately 37,714,000 kg CO2e. The majority of these emissions, about 36,370,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, indicating significant indirect emissions primarily from the supply chain and product use. The company also recorded Scope 1 and 2 emissions of about 14,000 kg CO2e, reflecting direct and indirect emissions from owned or controlled sources. Comparatively, in 2021, Gretsch-Unitas GmbH's emissions were reported at approximately 17,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2, indicating a focus on monitoring these areas, although no Scope 3 data was disclosed for that year. Currently, Gretsch-Unitas GmbH has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor are there any commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate action plan. As of now, there is no data cascaded from a parent or related organization, indicating that the emissions data is solely from Gretsch-Unitas GmbH itself. The company operates within a context where many organisations are increasingly prioritising sustainability and carbon reduction, highlighting the importance of future commitments in this area.
