The company has shown a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2023, which were about 110,769,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions also decreased from 35,288,000 kg CO2e in 2023. The Scope 3 emissions for 2023 included substantial figures such as 14,218,060,000 kg CO2e from the use of sold products and 19,038,900 kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution. ION Trading has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent organization. The absence of formal climate pledges or SBTi targets indicates a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while ION Trading Ireland Ltd has made some progress in managing its emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
