In 2020, Schunk Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 289,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 93,915,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 52,581,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Notably, Scope 3 emissions accounted for the largest share, totalling about 142,687,000 kg CO2e, which includes all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain. Currently, Schunk Group has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. This lack of publicly available reduction commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not yet have established formalised strategies for emissions reduction. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Schunk Group's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
