In 2022, Grupo Alimerka reported total carbon emissions of approximately 11,294,400 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and no emissions from Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions for that year. In previous years, emissions were significantly higher, with 2021 emissions reaching about 12,366,450 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 77,751,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. In 2020, the figures were approximately 14,034,520 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 63,717,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Despite these figures, Grupo Alimerka has not set specific reduction targets or made formal climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. The company’s emissions data reflects a trend of decreasing Scope 1 emissions over the years, which may suggest efforts towards reducing their carbon footprint. However, the absence of comprehensive Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data limits the understanding of their overall climate impact. As the company continues to navigate its environmental responsibilities, further transparency and commitment to reduction initiatives could enhance its sustainability profile in the industry.
