In 2022, KOHLER reported total carbon emissions of approximately 390,800,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 185,681,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). This reflects a reduction from 2021, where emissions were approximately 433,125,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 208,148,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. KOHLER has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. The company’s emissions data is self-reported and does not cascade from any parent organisation. Overall, KOHLER's emissions reflect significant operational impacts, and while there have been reductions in recent years, the lack of formalised targets indicates potential areas for improvement in their climate strategy.
