Knowles Corporation's reported carbon emissions
In 2012, Knowles Corporation reported emissions data indicating a revenue of approximately USD 1.12 billion, with emissions per million USD revenue calculated at about 1.909 kg CO2e. However, specific emissions figures for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 were not disclosed, and no significant reduction targets or climate pledges have been established by the company. As of now, Knowles Corporation does not inherit emissions data from any parent company, and there are no cascading targets from initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
