NATUREX, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), reported significant carbon emissions in 2017, totalling approximately 8,286,600 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 9,028,400 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 87,812,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions were notably high, driven by categories such as purchased goods and services (approximately 5,702,239,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 635,550,000 kg CO2e). Despite these figures, NATUREX has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced commitment to climate action within the industry context. As the company continues to operate, it may benefit from establishing clear climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
