Isu Chemical's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, ISU Chemical reported total carbon emissions of approximately 238,766,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 33,565,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of around 590,640,000 kg CO2e for both scopes. This marks a significant focus on emissions management, although no Scope 3 emissions data was disclosed for this year. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 1,184,316,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 225,397,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 45,789,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 913,100,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on upstream activities, particularly in purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 888,206,000 kg CO2e. ISU Chemical has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. The company’s emissions data is self-reported and does not cascade from a parent organization, indicating that ISU Chemical is independently managing its emissions reporting and climate strategy. Overall, while ISU Chemical has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
