Samsung Electro Mechanics's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Samsung Electro Mechanics reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,898,185,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 106,477,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 1,214,913,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions accounted for around 576,795,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, the company has shown a trend in its emissions data. For instance, in 2022, total emissions were approximately 1,621,668,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 117,758,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 1,224,810,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Samsung Electro Mechanics has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions, nor have they committed to any science-based targets (SBTi) or climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while the company has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of clear reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its sustainability efforts.
