In 2023, Mapei reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,664,586,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 2,664,586,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 117,714,000 kg CO2e, primarily from stationary combustion, while Scope 2 emissions totalled about 77,907,000 kg CO2e, based on a market-based approach. Comparatively, in 2022, Mapei's total emissions were about 1,904,710,000 kg CO2e, indicating a notable increase in emissions year-on-year. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, demonstrating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their recent reports, Mapei operates as a current subsidiary of Mapei SpA, which may influence its sustainability strategies. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that Mapei is still in the process of establishing formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint. Overall, Mapei's emissions data reflects the challenges faced by the construction materials industry in managing carbon emissions, while the company's commitment to transparency indicates a potential pathway towards future climate action.
