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. Scope 1 emissions were reported at approximately 272,000,000 kg CO2e, including about 35,000,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions. 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 about 298,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in this category. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting a lack of formalised commitments to emissions reduction at this time. It is important to note that SNF Group's emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, with the source organisation being SNF Group itself. This indicates that the reported figures are reflective of the current subsidiary's performance within the corporate family structure. Overall, while SNF Group has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
