KMC's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, KMC reported zero carbon emissions across all categories of their operations, including products of the milling industry and modified starches, indicating a significant commitment to sustainability. The company has not disclosed specific Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, nor have they set formal reduction targets or climate pledges. This absence of emissions data suggests that KMC may be in the early stages of measuring and reporting their carbon footprint. KMC's focus on sustainability is evident in their operational practices, as they aim to minimise environmental impact through innovative production methods. However, without specific reduction targets or commitments, the extent of their climate initiatives remains unclear. As the industry increasingly prioritises carbon neutrality, KMC's future actions will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
