This consisted of Scope 1 emissions of around 75,912,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 19,301,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 3,932,082,000 kg CO2e. The use of sold products remained a significant factor in Scope 3, at approximately 3,578,642,000 kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services contributing about 185,980,000 kg CO2e.

Looking further back, total emissions for 2023 were approximately 456,963,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 at approximately 85,161,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 23,375,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 348,428,000 kg CO2e. For 2022, total emissions were approximately 465,571,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 87,319,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at roughly 46,011,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 332,241,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions were approximately 353,511,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 79,648,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 79,032,000 kg CO2e. Earlier data for 2020 shows total emissions of approximately 289,184,000 kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at about 52,581,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 93,915,000 kg CO2e. For 2019, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 63,718,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 112,275,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 194,708,000 kg CO2e. In 2018, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 59,517,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 106,813,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 206,789,000 kg CO2e. In 2017, Scope 1 emissions, including process emissions and stationary combustion, were around 49,500,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 77,819,000 kg CO2e.

Mersen has established several reduction targets. A near-term commitment is to reduce the sales intensity of its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030, compared to a 2022 baseline. Additionally, Mersen has a target to reduce the sales intensity of its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 35% by 2027, relative to the 2022 base year. Previously, the company committed to reducing the intensity of its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 20% between 2018 and 2025. Furthermore, Mersen has stated its commitment to reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade.
