This figure includes 8,664,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily arise from direct operations, and 51,193,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to purchased electricity and steam. Notably, the company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. In 2022, the total emissions were about 161,663,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 8,783,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 75,086,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for the same year were approximately 92,483,000 kg CO2e, which encompass indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. The emissions data indicates a slight decrease in total emissions from 2022 to 2023, reflecting ongoing efforts to manage carbon output.
