Kendrion

Kendrion, headquartered in the Netherlands and operating within the other business services sector, has reported its carbon emissions and climate commitments.

For the 2024 reporting year, Kendrion's total calculated emissions were approximately 149.1 million kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions, using the market-based method, of approximately 0.7 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions constituted the largest portion, totalling around 147 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the most significant category within Scope 3, accounting for approximately 131.5 million kg CO2e.

Kendrion has set ambitious climate targets. They aspire to a 70% absolute reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions by the end of 2028, compared to a 2024 baseline. Furthermore, for the long term, Kendrion aims for net-zero Scope 2 emissions by 2050 by transitioning its entire electricity supply to renewable sources.

Earlier reporting years show a different emissions profile. In 2023, total emissions data was not fully available, but Scope 1 emissions were reported at about 1.2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 1.7 million kg CO2e. For 2022, total emissions were approximately 5.8 million kg CO2e. In 2019, Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined were about 6.7 million kg CO2e. In 2018, Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined were approximately 7.3 million kg CO2e, and in 2017, the total emissions reported were around 7.1 million kg CO2e. For 2016, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 7.2 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at 0 kg CO2e. In 2015, Scope 1 emissions were about 12.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were 0 kg CO2e.

Kendrion previously had a near-term target to achieve a 15% relative reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions by the end of 2023, based on 2019 levels. The company reported being on track for this target for Scope 2 emissions.
