Kemira Kemi AB's reported carbon emissions

In 2018, Kemira Kemi AB reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 1,690,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions, alongside 158,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 778,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This data reflects the company's comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes of greenhouse gas emissions. Kemira Kemi AB is a current subsidiary of Kemira Oyj, which influences its climate commitments and emissions data. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in the latest reports, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that the company may not yet be aligned with industry-leading climate action frameworks. Overall, while Kemira Kemi AB has a substantial emissions footprint, particularly in Scope 3, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
