Motul S.A.'s reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Motul S.A. reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 1,400,567,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes about 18,782,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, which covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and around 28,082,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of their emissions, approximately 1,400,000,000 kg CO2e, stem from Scope 3, which encompasses all other indirect emissions in the value chain. In 2024, emissions are projected to remain high, with estimates of about 1,478,544,000 kg CO2e, including 17,985,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 26,833,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite these figures, Motul has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon footprint reduction, yet it appears to be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Overall, while Motul's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction strategies suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate action efforts moving forward.
