Stark's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Stark reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,480,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 80,989,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 13,003,000 kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 4,390,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on upstream activities, particularly in the purchased goods and services category. In 2022, Stark's emissions were approximately 4,240,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 74,384,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 19,399,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at around 4,150,000,000 kg CO2e. The trend shows a consistent level of high emissions, particularly from Scope 3, which reflects the company's extensive supply chain impact. Stark has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while Stark is aware of its emissions profile, it may need to enhance its climate action framework to align with industry standards and expectations for corporate responsibility in climate change mitigation.
