In 2023, Plasser & Theurer reported total carbon emissions of approximately 345,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 2,786,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,212,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 341,670,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions compared to 2022, where they were 2,729,000 kg CO2e and 1,242,000 kg CO2e, respectively. However, Scope 3 emissions remained significantly high, indicating a continued challenge in managing upstream and downstream emissions. Over the past few years, Plasser & Theurer has made notable progress in reducing its carbon footprint. For instance, Scope 1 emissions decreased from approximately 6,916,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to 2,786,000 kg CO2e in 2023, showcasing a substantial reduction effort. Similarly, Scope 2 emissions have also seen a decline from 9,417,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to 1,212,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by the company, which may limit their long-term sustainability strategy. The absence of formal commitments to initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) suggests that while progress has been made, a structured approach to future emissions reduction may be beneficial for aligning with global climate goals.
