SolarWorld Aktiengesellschaft's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, SolarWorld Aktiengesellschaft has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for recent years. The most recent emissions data available is from 2016, where the company reported a production-related carbon emission factor of approximately 0.71 kg CO2e per watt peak (Wp). This figure indicates the company's carbon intensity in its production processes, although total emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 have not been specified. In previous years, the company reported similar production emission factors, with 0.73 kg CO2e/Wp in 2015 and 1,000 kg CO2e/Wp in 2012. These figures suggest a relatively stable carbon intensity in their operations over the years, but without specific total emissions data, it is challenging to assess overall performance. Currently, SolarWorld Aktiengesellschaft has not set any publicly disclosed reduction targets or commitments under initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of specific climate pledges or reduction initiatives indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while SolarWorld Aktiengesellschaft is involved in the solar industry, which inherently supports renewable energy and carbon reduction, the lack of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments may limit its transparency and accountability in addressing climate change.
