The previous year, 2020, saw a Scope 1 emissions intensity of around 5,120 kg CO2e per employee and a Scope 2 emissions intensity of approximately 9.26 metric tons CO2e per unit. In 2019, the Scope 1 emissions intensity was about 4,700 kg CO2e per employee, with a Scope 2 emissions intensity of approximately 9.22 metric tons CO2e per unit. Despite these figures, Kimball has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. The absence of documented climate pledges or targets suggests that while they are tracking emissions, they may not yet have formalised commitments to reduce their carbon footprint. As a company headquartered in the US, Kimball's emissions data reflects their operational impact on a global scale, highlighting the need for ongoing assessment and potential action in line with industry standards for climate responsibility.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Kimball is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
