SAUDER's reported carbon emissions

In 2016, SAUDER reported total carbon emissions of approximately 40 million kg CO2e. This figure reflects the company's emissions data for the US, although specific breakdowns into Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions were not disclosed. The previous year, 2008, saw emissions of about 65 million kg CO2e, indicating a significant reduction over the eight-year period. Despite the reduction in emissions, SAUDER has not established specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while the company has made progress in lowering its emissions, it has not formalised its climate commitments or set measurable goals for future reductions. SAUDER's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, and all reported figures are derived directly from the Sauder Woodworking Co. This indicates a standalone approach to their sustainability reporting and emissions management.
