This data reflects a comprehensive assessment of their carbon footprint across all scopes, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which are often the largest for manufacturing companies. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded higher emissions, with Scope 1 at 45,061,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 61,297,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 227,724,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a potential shift in operational efficiency or changes in production practices, although specific reduction targets or achievements were not disclosed. Kronospan's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, KRONOSPAN GmbH, indicating a structured approach to sustainability reporting within its corporate family. However, there are currently no documented reduction targets or climate pledges, suggesting that while emissions are tracked, formal commitments to reduction strategies may still be in development. Overall, Kronospan, Inc. is actively monitoring its carbon emissions, with a clear understanding of its Scope 1, 2, and 3 contributions, but it has yet to establish specific reduction initiatives or targets.
