Kemper's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Kemper reported total carbon emissions of approximately 31,477,085 kg CO2e, comprising 3,867,009 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 27,361,076 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions.

Kemper has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not currently report on Scope 3 emissions, which limits the comprehensiveness of their climate impact assessment. All emissions data is sourced directly from Kemper Corporation, with no cascaded data from a parent or related organization. Kemper's emissions per employee were reported at approximately 7 kg CO2e in 2023, while emissions per kg of finished products were about 9,460 kg CO2e. In 2022, these figures were significantly higher, with emissions per employee at 69 kg CO2e and per kg of finished products at 8,800 kg CO2e. Overall, while Kemper has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of reduction targets and comprehensive Scope 3 data indicates room for improvement in their climate strategy.
