Krka's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Krka reported total carbon emissions of approximately 135,839,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 79,880,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 57,059,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Over the years, Krka's emissions have fluctuated, with a notable increase in Scope 1 emissions from about 33,603,000 kg CO2e in 2017 to 79,880,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Similarly, Scope 2 emissions rose from approximately 43,761,000 kg CO2e in 2017 to 57,059,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite these figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Krka. The absence of specific initiatives or commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it has not yet established formal goals for emissions reduction. This context highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and potential future commitments in line with industry standards for climate action.
