This data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint, particularly in its supply chain and product usage. Over the years, Huntsman has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2021, the company emitted about 1,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2 combined, while in 2020, these figures were approximately 220,482,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 697,136,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The trend indicates a need for ongoing efforts to manage and reduce emissions effectively. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed, Huntsman operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon neutrality. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that Huntsman may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with global standards and expectations. Overall, Huntsman's emissions data underscores the importance of strategic climate action, particularly in addressing Scope 3 emissions, which represent the largest portion of their carbon footprint.
