SolarWorld Aktiengesellschaft's reported carbon emissions

As of 2014, SolarWorld Aktiengesellschaft reported total carbon emissions of approximately 127,021,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 800 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 14,710 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This data highlights the company's emissions profile, with a significant portion attributed to direct emissions (Scope 1). In 2013, the company recorded emissions of about 95,693,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1,100 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 8,410 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The emissions data from these years indicates a focus on transparency, as SolarWorld has disclosed emissions across all three scopes. Despite the emissions data available, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for SolarWorld Aktiengesellschaft. The absence of formal commitments suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while SolarWorld has provided emissions data for previous years, it appears that further initiatives and commitments towards carbon reduction are needed to align with industry standards and expectations for climate action.
