Royal Greenland's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Royal Greenland reported total carbon emissions of approximately 478,890,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 124,623,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 12,339,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 341,928,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Compared to 2022, where total emissions were about 459,508,000 kg CO2e, this represents an increase in emissions. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes (1, 2, and 3) for the years 2021 to 2023, demonstrating transparency in their reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. Royal Greenland's emissions from vessels, particularly prawn trawlers, are notable, with emissions measured at approximately 1,850 kg CO2e per tonne of catch. This highlights the environmental impact of their fishing operations, which is a critical area for potential improvement. Overall, while Royal Greenland has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and contribute more effectively to global sustainability efforts.
