Over the years, KOGAS has shown fluctuations in its emissions, with a peak total of about 992,767,000 kg CO2e in 2012. The company has made efforts to reduce its emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and 2, which are directly associated with its operations. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). KOGAS's emissions profile indicates a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which include indirect emissions from the value chain, highlighting the importance of addressing these areas for comprehensive climate action. As the company continues to navigate its climate commitments, further clarity on reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability narrative.
