In 2023, KMC reported total carbon emissions of approximately 69,000,000 kg CO2e, reflecting a slight increase from 66,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The emissions data encompasses Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with no reported figures for Scope 3 emissions. Over the past several years, KMC's emissions have fluctuated, with figures of 61,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021, 68,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020, and 54,000,000 kg CO2e in 2019. Despite these emissions figures, KMC has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent or related organization, as it operates independently in this regard. KMC's climate commitments and strategies remain unclear, and further information may be necessary to assess their long-term sustainability goals and initiatives.
