Koppers's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Koppers reported approximately 311,937,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, reflecting a decrease from about 345,488,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 emissions for 2022, and there is no available emissions data for 2023. Koppers' revenue for 2022 was approximately USD 3,946,460,000, with a greenhouse gas emissions intensity of about 2.1e-10 metric tons CO2e per million USD revenue. Despite these figures, Koppers has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce carbon emissions. The absence of comprehensive emissions data for 2023 and the lack of disclosed Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions suggest that Koppers may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
