Schwalbe's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Schwalbe reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,084,600 kg CO2e globally, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 43,318,170 kg CO2e. The breakdown of emissions includes approximately 574,340 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 70,860 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Notably, the company has seen fluctuations in its emissions over the years, with a total of about 2,455,690 kg CO2e in 2018, decreasing to approximately 1,351,840 kg CO2e in 2021 before rising again in 2023. Schwalbe's emissions profile indicates a heavy reliance on Scope 3 emissions, particularly from business travel and fuel-related activities. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges, which suggests a need for clearer commitments towards sustainability and emissions reduction in line with industry standards. The company operates from its headquarters in the Netherlands (NL) and is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on climate action and accountability.
