Materion Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Materion Corporation reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 200,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 73,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 127,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a gradual increase in emissions over recent years, with 2021 emissions at about 188,000,000 kg CO2e, 2020 at approximately 178,000,000 kg CO2e, and 2019 at around 182,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite the rising emissions, Materion has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The company has not reported any Scope 3 emissions data, which typically includes indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. Materion's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, as there are no documented climate pledges or targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As the industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, Materion's future climate strategies will be crucial in aligning with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
