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 reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2021, where they were about 652,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data for all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. Nordkalk's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, SigmaRoc plc, which oversees its sustainability initiatives. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Nordkalk, suggesting a need for more defined commitments in line with industry standards. The company has reported production emission factors for quicklime, with CO2 intensity values of approximately 1,110 kg CO2e per tonne in 2022, 1,080 kg CO2e per tonne in 2021, and 1,120 kg CO2e per tonne in 2020. These figures highlight the ongoing efforts to monitor and potentially reduce emissions associated with their production processes. Overall, while Nordkalk has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of formal reduction targets indicates an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
