Knab's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Knab reported total carbon emissions of approximately 286,918,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, 175,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, and 51,391,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, specifically from purchased goods and services. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 2 emissions compared to 2022, where total emissions were about 308,761,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, 190,527,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, and 57,638,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Despite these figures, Knab has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal commitments suggests that while Knab is tracking its emissions across all scopes, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions. The company operates within the financial services sector, which is increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction, indicating a potential area for future commitment and action.
