In 2023, Natracare reported total carbon emissions of approximately 41,711,000 kg CO2e, with all emissions classified under Scope 3, indicating that the majority of their carbon footprint arises from their supply chain and product use. Notably, there were no emissions recorded for Scope 1 and Scope 2, which typically encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources and indirect emissions from purchased electricity, respectively. In comparison, the company's emissions in 2020 were significantly lower, at about 8,100 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 contributing approximately 4,200 kg CO2e and Scope 2 accounting for about 3,900 kg CO2e. This stark increase in emissions over the three-year period highlights the challenges faced in managing supply chain impacts. Currently, Natracare has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for formal reduction goals. Their focus appears to be on understanding and addressing their Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for achieving overall sustainability in the industry.
