In 2023, Kronospan, Inc. reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 13,646,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 46,649,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 globally. The company did not disclose Scope 3 emissions for this year. This data reflects a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting, inherited from its parent company, KRONOSPAN GmbH. Comparatively, in 2022, Kronospan's global emissions were higher, with Scope 1 emissions at about 45,061,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 61,297,000 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 3 emissions reaching around 227,724,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a potential reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in 2023. Kronospan has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. The absence of documented reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its sustainability strategy and align with industry standards for emissions reduction. Overall, while Kronospan, Inc. has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction initiatives may limit its effectiveness in addressing climate change comprehensively.
