Samyang's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Samyang reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,605,750 kg CO2e, comprising 143,307,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 117,277,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 1,864,625,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, including direct and indirect emissions across their value chain. In previous years, Samyang's emissions were as follows: in 2021, they emitted about 12,342,210 kg CO2e (Scope 1: 59,820 kg CO2e, Scope 2: 12,282,390 kg CO2e), and in 2020, their total was approximately 5,762,520 kg CO2e (Scope 1: 10,850 kg CO2e, Scope 2: 5,751,670 kg CO2e). The data shows a trend of increasing emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which reflects the broader impact of their supply chain and product lifecycle. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, there are currently no specified reduction targets or climate pledges from Samyang. This lack of formal commitments may indicate an opportunity for the company to enhance its sustainability strategy and align with industry standards for climate action. As the company continues to grow, addressing these emissions will be crucial for meeting global climate goals and improving their environmental footprint.
