In 2022, total emissions were around 931,479,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to previous years. Despite these figures, SK has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for clearer commitments to address their carbon footprint effectively. Overall, while SK has made strides in managing its emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
