Kimball's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Kimball reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of approximately 5,480 kg CO2e per employee and a Scope 2 emissions intensity of about 9.72 metric tonnes CO2e per unit produced. The company has shown a gradual increase in emissions intensity over the years, with 2020 figures indicating a Scope 1 intensity of about 5,120 kg CO2e per employee and a Scope 2 intensity of approximately 9.26 metric tonnes CO2e per unit. In 2019, the Scope 1 emissions intensity was around 4,700 kg CO2e per employee, while the Scope 2 intensity was about 9.22 metric tonnes CO2e per unit. Despite these figures, Kimball has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is tracking emissions, it may not yet have formalised commitments to significant reductions. As a result, Kimball's climate strategy remains somewhat unclear within the context of industry standards for emissions reduction.
