Quinenco's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Quinenco reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,500,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 91,103,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 80,172,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 1,377,252,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a comprehensive disclosure of emissions across all relevant scopes, highlighting the company's extensive carbon footprint. Quinenco's emissions data from 2021 indicates a much lower total of about 6,945,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 495,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 1,000,000 kg CO2e. The substantial increase in emissions from 2021 to 2022 suggests a significant rise in operational activities or changes in reporting practices. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Quinenco currently has no publicly stated reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments further underscores the need for enhanced climate action. Quinenco's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of its own operations. As the company continues to navigate its climate commitments, establishing clear reduction targets will be crucial for aligning with global climate goals.
