Gurit's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Gurit, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 68,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 10,607,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 27,425,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reached around 67,673,000 kg CO2e. Gurit's emissions data indicates a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which account for the majority of their carbon footprint. This includes emissions from purchased goods and services, use of sold products, and upstream and downstream transportation. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Gurit has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that while they are tracking emissions, they may not yet have formalised plans to reduce their carbon footprint in line with industry standards or climate pledges. Overall, Gurit’s emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage, and underscores the need for comprehensive climate action strategies moving forward.
