Poongsan Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Poongsan Corporation, headquartered in South Korea (KR), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 60,254,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 163,165,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 61,664,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and a reduction from 62,251,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Scope 2 emissions also saw a decrease from 165,516,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 168,062,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Despite these reductions, Poongsan Corporation has not set specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented reduction initiatives. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future focus. The absence of formal climate pledges or reduction targets suggests that while the company is making progress in reducing its direct and indirect emissions, there is room for more structured climate commitments. Overall, Poongsan Corporation's emissions data highlights a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although further transparency and strategic planning in climate initiatives could enhance its sustainability profile.
