Sovena's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Sovena reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,252,642,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 27,003,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at around 42,967,000 kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled approximately 1,182,673,000 kg CO2e. The company's emissions data from previous years indicates a consistent pattern, with total emissions in 2022 reaching about 1,346,766,000 kg CO2e, and in 2021, approximately 1,208,965,000 kg CO2e. Notably, in 2020, Sovena's emissions peaked at around 1,167,310,000 kg CO2e. Sovena has disclosed emissions across all three scopes, highlighting their commitment to transparency. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. This lack of defined reduction strategies may reflect an industry-wide challenge, as many companies are still developing comprehensive plans to address their carbon footprints. Overall, while Sovena's emissions figures are substantial, the absence of targeted reduction initiatives suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with global sustainability goals.
