K+S Benelux's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, K+S Benelux reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,800,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 200,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 600,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a consistent trend in their emissions profile over recent years, with Scope 1 emissions remaining stable at around 1.9 billion kg CO2e since 2020. In 2022, the company recorded similar emissions, with Scope 1 at 1,900,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 200,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 also at 600,000,000 kg CO2e. The emissions from Scope 3, which includes upstream transportation and distribution, have shown a slight decrease in specific emissions per transported tonne, from 23.33 kg CO2e in 2022 to 22.6 kg CO2e in 2023. K+S Benelux has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. However, the company continues to monitor and report its emissions across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while K+S Benelux is aware of its carbon footprint, it may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
