Hyundai-Kia Motor Company's reported carbon emissions
Hyundai-Kia Motor Company, headquartered in South Korea (KR), reported significant carbon emissions in recent years. In 2009, the company emitted approximately 89,064,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 sources and about 4,049,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 sources. This reflects a trend of increasing emissions over the years, with 2008 emissions recorded at about 86,666,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 1,685,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 2007 emissions at approximately 83,781,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 1,238,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Despite these figures, Hyundai-Kia has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As the automotive industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Hyundai-Kia's future commitments will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
