In 2023, Koppert B.V., headquartered in the Netherlands, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 66,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 19,259,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 7,578,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 44,893,000 kg CO2e. Within Scope 3, notable contributors include business travel (about 18,056,000 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (approximately 42,997,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions reported, Koppert has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. There are no climate pledges or commitments to science-based targets (SBTi) noted in their current sustainability reporting. The absence of reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. Koppert's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent or related organisation, indicating that these figures are independently reported. As the company continues to navigate its sustainability journey, establishing clear reduction targets and initiatives will be crucial for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
