KMC's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, KMC reported total emissions of approximately 60 million kg CO2e, which includes Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This marks an increase from 50 million kg CO2e in 2023 and 40 million kg CO2e in 2022. The company has not disclosed specific Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a gap in their reporting on upstream and downstream emissions. KMC has not set any formal reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that KMC may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all figures are reported directly by KMC International A/S. As KMC continues to assess its carbon footprint, it may benefit from establishing clear reduction goals and improving transparency in its emissions reporting.
