This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 69 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 16 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 4.82 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (approximately 3.47 billion kg CO2e) and the end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 906 million kg CO2e). * **2024:** Total emissions were approximately 4.24 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 74.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 19.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 4.15 billion kg CO2e. Purchased goods and services represented the largest portion of Scope 3 at approximately 3.24 billion kg CO2e, followed by the end-of-life treatment of sold products at approximately 728 million kg CO2e. * **2023:** Total emissions were approximately 5.25 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 83 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions approximately 14 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions about 5.15 billion kg CO2e. Purchased goods and services were the most significant contributor to Scope 3 emissions at approximately 3.74 billion kg CO2e. * **2022:** Total emissions were approximately 5.25 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 84 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 14 million kg CO2e. * **2021:** Total emissions were approximately 5.26 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 85 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 18 million kg CO2e. * **2020:** Total emissions were approximately 5.28 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of about 89 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 32 million kg CO2e. * **2019:** Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 16.4 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 9.6 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 6.8 million kg CO2e. * **2018:** Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 17.3 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 9.0 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 8.3 million kg CO2e. * **2017:** Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 22.7 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 9.8 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 12.9 million kg CO2e. * **2016:** Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 25.0 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 9.7 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 15.3 million kg CO2e. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** STARK has set ambitious targets to reduce its environmental impact: * **Net Zero by 2050:** STARK aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. * **Scope 1 & 2 Emissions Reduction:** * By 2030, STARK aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 45% from a 2020 baseline. * Additionally, STARK is working towards sourcing 100% renewable electricity by 2030. * **Scope 3 Emissions Reduction:** * By 2030, STARK commits to reducing its absolute Scope 3 emissions by 25% from a 2023 base year. * Longer-term, STARK aims for a 90% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2050. These commitments are aligned with Science Based Targets (SBTi) initiatives, ensuring that STARK's reduction goals are consistent with the level of decarbonisation required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.
