In 2023, Magnit reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,390,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 3,060,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2,510,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and a modest increase in Scope 2 emissions from 2,980,000,000 kg CO2e in the same year. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Magnit's emissions data indicates a focus on reducing its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been outlined. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or documented reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have formalised its climate commitments. Overall, Magnit is actively monitoring its carbon emissions, with a clear trend of emissions reporting over the past few years, but further clarity on reduction strategies and targets would enhance its climate commitment profile.
