(KHNP), headquartered in South Korea, has made significant commitments towards reducing its carbon emissions, although specific emissions data for the most recent year is currently unavailable. The company is committed to achieving net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050, as indicated by its Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment established in 2023. KHNP's climate strategy includes a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from its operations, specifically targeting Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
