Kronospan Chemicals's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Kronospan Chemicals reported global carbon emissions of approximately 214,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This included about 19,400 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and approximately 2,100,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to the generation of purchased electricity. Notably, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the value chain, accounted for the majority at about 214,000,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from the use of sold products (approximately 3,870,000 kg CO2e) and waste generated in operations (around 1,540,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, emissions data for Kronospan Chemicals in Slovakia indicated Scope 1 emissions of about 8,703,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 11,397,140 kg CO2e. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been disclosed by the company, indicating a potential area for future commitment and improvement in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while Kronospan Chemicals has made strides in tracking emissions, the absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests an opportunity to enhance their climate commitments and align with industry standards for carbon reduction.
