Lotte Fine Chemical's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Lotte Fine Chemical reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,490,328,000 kg CO2e, comprising 61,505,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 636,112,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,490,328,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a significant commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting. Over the years, Lotte Fine Chemical has demonstrated a trend of reducing emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 2. For instance, from 2015 to 2023, Scope 1 emissions decreased from 114,306,000 kg CO2e to 61,505,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions reduced from 580,256,000 kg CO2e to 636,112,000 kg CO2e. However, Scope 3 emissions have shown variability, with a notable increase in 2021 and 2022, indicating the complexity of managing emissions across the supply chain. Despite these reductions, Lotte Fine Chemical has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or reduction initiatives, which may limit their ability to align with global climate goals. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further strategic planning in their climate commitments. Overall, Lotte Fine Chemical's emissions data highlights both achievements and areas for improvement in their sustainability journey.
