This figure includes 29,051,290 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 7,795,260 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 553,206,930 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompass a wide range of activities including purchased goods and services, employee commuting, and waste generated in operations. The company's emissions have fluctuated over the years, with total emissions recorded at 49,029,600 kg CO2e in 2021, 40,859,700 kg CO2e in 2020, and 34,246,040 kg CO2e in 2019. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions have consistently represented a substantial portion of their total emissions, indicating a significant impact from their supply chain and product lifecycle. Despite these figures, RaiaDrogasil has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive strategies to address climate change. Overall, while RaiaDrogasil's emissions data highlights the scale of their carbon footprint, the absence of defined reduction goals suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry best practices for sustainability.
