In 2024, Petkim reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 1,704,704,490 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 32,866,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2023, where they were approximately 1,950,750,150 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 2 emissions of about 16,207,320 kg CO2e. In 2022, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of around 1,838,002,770 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 29,725,580 kg CO2e. Petkim operates as a current subsidiary of Petkim Petrokimya Holding Anonim Sirketi, which influences its emissions data. However, there are currently no disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Petkim, indicating a potential area for future commitment to sustainability initiatives. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests that the company may not yet be addressing emissions from its value chain comprehensively. Overall, while Petkim has made strides in reducing its emissions, the lack of formal reduction targets highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action in alignment with industry standards.
