This figure represents a decrease from 2022, when emissions were about 18,296,000 kg CO2e, also from Scope 3.

The total emissions for 2021 were significantly higher, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions each at approximately 2,669,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 21,852,000 kg CO2e.

The company’s emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which primarily stem from purchased goods and services, as well as upstream transportation and distribution. As Hennessy continues to navigate its climate commitments, focusing on reducing these emissions will be crucial for enhancing its sustainability efforts.
