In 2023, HAMBURGER reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 738,947,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 338,947,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and 821,057,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint across its operations. Over the years, HAMBURGER has shown a commitment to reducing its emissions, particularly in the paper and paperboard sector. For instance, in 2022, the company reported thermal energy consumption emissions of about 4.06 kg CO2e per tonne of paper and paperboard produced. In previous years, emissions per tonne have fluctuated, with figures of approximately 378 kg CO2e in 2021, 386 kg CO2e in 2020, and 400 kg CO2e in 2019. Despite these figures, HAMBURGER has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor has it committed to any climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The absence of defined goals suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term climate strategy. Overall, while HAMBURGER's emissions data reflects a significant environmental impact, the lack of specific reduction commitments raises questions about its future sustainability efforts.
