In 2023, SK Biopharmaceuticals reported total carbon emissions of approximately 14,790,000 kg CO2e, comprising 433,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,046,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 11,882,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked an increase in emissions compared to previous years, where in 2022, the total was about 13,610,000 kg CO2e, with 425,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 936,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 6,547,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 for the years 2018 through 2023, showing a trend of fluctuating emissions. For instance, in 2021, total emissions were approximately 1,349,000 kg CO2e, while in 2020, they were about 1,211,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, SK Biopharmaceuticals has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while SK Biopharmaceuticals has made strides in transparency regarding their emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
