Within Scope 3, the use of sold products was the largest contributor at approximately 232.20 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at about 50.14 billion kg CO2e.
- 2024: Total emissions were approximately 278.59 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 1.07 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 were around 2.07 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 275.46 billion kg CO2e.
- 2023: Total emissions stood at approximately 291.77 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 1.09 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 2.73 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 287.96 billion kg CO2e.
- 2022: Total emissions were approximately 295.51 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at about 1.16 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 3.14 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 291.21 billion kg CO2e.
Earlier reporting periods show a trend of declining Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2013 to 2021, although total emissions fluctuated. For instance, in 2021, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 4.50 billion kg CO2e, and in 2020, they were around 5.03 billion kg CO2e.
