In 2023, Linde Material Handling reported total carbon emissions of approximately 14,700 kg CO2e, comprising about 5,200 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 9,500 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This data reflects a commitment to transparency in their climate impact, although no Scope 3 emissions data was disclosed. Looking back at 2022, the company’s total emissions were significantly higher, at about 78,911,636 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 57,728,410 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at about 5,557,200 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 15,626,026 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reduction in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Linde Material Handling is a current subsidiary of KION GROUP AG, which influences its climate commitments and reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their sustainability strategy, nor are there any climate pledges reported. The absence of defined targets suggests a potential area for future development in their sustainability efforts. Overall, Linde Material Handling's emissions data demonstrates a focus on reducing their carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, while the lack of Scope 3 data highlights an opportunity for further improvement in their overall climate strategy.
