In 2023, Ip reported total carbon emissions of 350,000 kg CO2e, comprising 242,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 353,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 89,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marks a significant increase compared to previous years, with total emissions of 127,000 kg CO2e in 2022, 83,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and 139,000 kg CO2e in 2020. Despite the fluctuations in emissions, Ip has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The company has reported emissions intensity metrics, such as 3,700 kg CO2e per full-time equivalent (FTE) and 400 kg CO2e per square metre in 2023, but lacks formal commitments to climate pledges or science-based targets. Overall, while Ip has made strides in tracking its emissions across various scopes, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy.
