In 2024, Kern & Sohn GmbH reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28,853,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 115,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and 41,776,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions.

For Scope 2, the company reported 324,000 kg CO2e (market-based) in 2022, which decreased to 115,000 kg CO2e in 2024, showcasing progress in reducing indirect emissions from energy consumption. However, Scope 3 emissions increased from 61,676,000 kg CO2e in 2022 to 41,776,000 kg CO2e in 2024, suggesting a complex supply chain impact that requires further attention. Kern & Sohn GmbH has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, reflecting independent reporting. Overall, while the company has made strides in reducing certain emissions, a comprehensive approach to all scopes, particularly Scope 3, will be essential for future climate commitments.
