In 2023, SK Materials reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,933,043,000 kg CO2e, comprising 35,400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 553,408,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 2,932,043,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked a slight increase in emissions compared to previous years, with total emissions in 2022 being about 2,828,420,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability reports. This lack of defined targets may indicate an opportunity for SK Materials to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for emissions reduction. Overall, while SK Materials has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the absence of concrete reduction initiatives suggests a need for further action to address climate change effectively.
