Looking back, in 2024, Scope 1 emissions were around 2.259 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were about 99 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 3.880 billion kg CO2e.
For 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 5.983 billion kg CO2e. This comprised about 2.176 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 115 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and around 3.692 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. Significant Scope 3 categories in 2023 included purchased goods and services at approximately 2.405 billion kg CO2e, use of sold products at around 341 million kg CO2e, and fuel and energy related activities at about 344 million kg CO2e.
