Linde's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Linde, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 38,800,000,000 kg CO2e, which includes 16,800,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 22,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the significant emissions figures, Linde has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. This lack of defined reduction strategies may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing carbon footprints. Linde's commitment to climate action is crucial in the context of global efforts to mitigate climate change, and ongoing transparency regarding their emissions and reduction strategies will be essential for stakeholders and the environment alike.
