In 2021, Knowles Electronics reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,164,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 52,108,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), resulting in a combined total of around 60,272,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, the company recorded emissions of about 6,114,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 49,525,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), leading to a total of around 55,639,000 kg CO2e. This indicates an increase in emissions from 2020 to 2021, with Scope 1 emissions rising by about 2,750,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions increasing by approximately 583,000 kg CO2e (market-based). Despite these figures, Knowles Electronics has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate commitments suggests a need for further transparency regarding their strategies for addressing climate change and reducing emissions in the future.
