KMC's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, KMC reported total carbon emissions of approximately 60,000,000 kg CO2e, reflecting a significant increase from 50,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023 and 40,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022. These figures encompass Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with no data disclosed for Scope 3 emissions. KMC has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from a parent organisation. The company has shown a progressive increase in emissions over the years, with a notable rise from 30,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to 40,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022, and further to 50,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023. This upward trend raises concerns regarding KMC's climate commitments and overall sustainability strategy. KMC's emissions data is sourced directly from KMC International A/S, with no external initiatives or climate pledges reported. The absence of reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action and accountability within the organisation.
