Skagen's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Skagen reported a carbon intensity of approximately 320 kg CO2e per tonne for pulp, paper, and paperboard production, and about 684 kg CO2e per tonne for grey cement production. This marked a slight improvement from 2020, where the carbon intensity was around 330 kg CO2e for pulp and 718 kg CO2e for cement. The trend indicates a commitment to reducing emissions in their production processes. However, Skagen has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction goals suggests that while they are monitoring their carbon intensity, there may be opportunities for more robust climate commitments in the future. Overall, Skagen's emissions data reflects a gradual improvement in carbon intensity, but further transparency regarding their climate strategies and targets would enhance their sustainability profile.
