Kyobo Life Insurance's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Kyobo Life Insurance reported total carbon emissions of approximately 30,764,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 4,989,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 25,775,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 6,263,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Over the past few years, the company has shown a slight fluctuation in emissions. In 2022, total emissions were about 29,925,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 4,614,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 25,311,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 3,243,000 kg CO2e. The 2021 emissions were approximately 29,793,000 kg CO2e, while 2020 saw a total of about 30,406,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Kyobo Life Insurance has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised strategies in place to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. Overall, Kyobo Life Insurance's emissions data reflects a commitment to transparency, but further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action and sustainability.
