In 2023, Jotun, headquartered in Norway, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 94,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 29,372,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 65,969,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, with Scope 3 emissions reaching about 3,903,560,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a commitment to transparency by disclosing emissions across all three scopes. Jotun's emissions intensity for 2022 was reported at 143,000 kg CO2e per tonne produced, indicating a focus on reducing emissions per unit of output. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or documented reduction initiatives. Overall, Jotun's emissions data reflects a significant carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are often the largest contributor in manufacturing sectors. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
