Kennametal's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Kennametal reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,260,130 kg CO2e, comprising 130,200 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3,527,900 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 626,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked a notable shift in their emissions profile, particularly with the inclusion of Scope 3 data, which was not previously disclosed. Over the years, Kennametal's emissions have fluctuated. In 2022, the company emitted about 4,000,000 kg CO2e, with 30,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 134,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. In 2021, total emissions were approximately 174,000,000 kg CO2e, with 27,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 146,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The trend shows a gradual reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions over the years, with 2020 emissions at 189,000,000 kg CO2e and 2019 at 207,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, Kennametal has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. As a leading player in the manufacturing sector, Kennametal's ongoing efforts to manage and reduce emissions will be crucial in addressing climate change and aligning with global sustainability goals.
