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 4,500,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 82,721,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 15,452,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at around 44,821,000 kg CO2e. The trend shows a consistent level of emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which remains a significant area of focus. 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 documented reduction initiatives suggests that while emissions data is available, a structured approach to reducing these emissions may still be in development. Overall, Stark's emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions to meet future climate goals.
