Nordkalk's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Nordkalk reported total carbon emissions of approximately 650,250,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 56,950,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and 240,240,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the company's significant carbon footprint across its operations. In 2021, the emissions were slightly lower, with Scope 1 at about 652,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 (location-based) at approximately 39,330,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a commitment to transparency by disclosing emissions across all three scopes, which is essential for understanding its overall environmental impact. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives documented in their sustainability reports. This lack of defined climate commitments may indicate an area for improvement as the industry increasingly focuses on carbon reduction strategies. Nordkalk's emissions intensity for quicklime production has been reported at approximately 1,110 kg CO2e per tonne, reflecting the carbon intensity associated with their primary product. As the company continues to operate in a climate-conscious market, establishing clear reduction targets could enhance its sustainability profile and align with global climate goals.
