In comparison, the 2022 emissions data indicated a total of approximately 75,066,529 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 3,538,209 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 21,020,803 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 60,881,471 kg CO2e. This suggests a notable reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these figures, Kemper has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. As a company headquartered in the US, Kemper's emissions and climate commitments are critical in the context of global climate action efforts.
