In 2022, KOA Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 24.6 million kg CO2e. This figure includes 4.3 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 20.3 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, KOA Corporation has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Comparatively, in 2021, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 56.6 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 4.3 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 52.3 million kg CO2e. This indicates a significant reduction in total emissions from 2021 to 2022. Despite these reductions, KOA Corporation has not set specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented reduction initiatives. The absence of a climate pledge or formal reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have committed to a structured climate strategy. Overall, KOA Corporation's emissions data reflects a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although further transparency regarding future climate commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile.
