Ncsoft

In 2023, NCSoft reported total carbon emissions of approximately 161,446,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 680,500 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 29,792,400 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Notably, Scope 3 emissions accounted for a significant portion, with 74,304,000 kg CO2e, which includes emissions from purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commuting. In 2022, NCSoft's total emissions were about 155,888,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 711,100 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 24,205,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were also substantial, totalling approximately 101,125,300 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2021, the company reported total emissions of around 23,054,500 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions combined at the same figure, indicating a significant increase in emissions over the following years. Despite these figures, NCSoft has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it has yet to commit to formalised reduction strategies. Overall, NCSoft's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and strategies to address its carbon footprint effectively.
