In 2023, SNF Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,855,800,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 10,258,000,000 kg CO2e. Within this scope, the largest categories included purchased goods and services (approximately 8,928,000,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods (about 261,000,000 kg CO2e). The company's Scope 1 emissions were reported at approximately 272,000,000 kg CO2e, including fugitive emissions of about 35,000,000 kg CO2e. The total emissions from Scope 1 and 2 combined reached approximately 594,000,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, SNF Group's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 298,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in emissions over the year. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented, and the company does not currently have any SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets in place. It is important to note that SNF Group's emissions data is cascaded from its parent organization, with the source organization being SNF Group itself. The data reflects the company's commitment to transparency in its environmental impact, although specific reduction initiatives or targets have not been outlined.
