Owens Corning Korea Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions
In 2014, Owens Corning Korea Ltd. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,535,719,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,514,945,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 22,033,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This data indicates a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting across all scopes, which include direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1), indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity (Scope 2), and other indirect emissions (Scope 3). Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives from Owens Corning Korea Ltd. aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. This lack of specific reduction commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in setting and achieving ambitious climate goals. As the company continues to navigate its environmental impact, the focus on emissions transparency remains a critical aspect of its climate strategy.
