Samherji's reported carbon emissions
Samherji, headquartered in Iceland (IS), currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year. As a result, specific figures regarding their total emissions in kg CO2e, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, are not provided. In the absence of detailed emissions data, it is important to note that Samherji has not outlined any specific reduction targets or commitments related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of publicly disclosed initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As the seafood industry increasingly focuses on sustainability and reducing carbon footprints, it will be crucial for Samherji to establish clear climate commitments and reduction targets to align with industry standards and expectations.
