KDC-ONE's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, KDC-ONE reported total emissions of approximately 16,590,000 kg CO2e, comprising 16,494,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions (stationary combustion) and 96,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (purchased electricity). This data reflects a commitment to transparency in their carbon footprint, although no Scope 3 emissions data has been disclosed. KDC-ONE has shown a trend of reducing emissions over the years. In 2021, their total emissions were approximately 15,758,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 15,756,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 102,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, the total was significantly higher at approximately 51,800,000 kg CO2e, driven by Scope 1 emissions of 15,053,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of 36,127,000 kg CO2e. The reduction from 2020 to 2022 indicates a positive trajectory towards lowering their carbon emissions. Despite these reductions, KDC-ONE has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar climate pledges. Their emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that KDC-ONE operates independently in its climate reporting. Overall, KDC-ONE's emissions data highlights their ongoing efforts to manage and reduce their carbon footprint, although further commitments and targets would enhance their climate strategy.
