Sto's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Sto reported total carbon emissions of approximately 46,482,160 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1 emissions at about 29,030,800 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at around 2,575,790 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 14,875,570 kg CO2e. The emissions data for 2018 indicated a total of about 25,645,300 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 14,543,700 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 442,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 10,659,600 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Sto has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests that while Sto is aware of its emissions, it has yet to establish formalised strategies for significant reductions. Overall, Sto's emissions data reflects a growing concern for climate impact, but further transparency regarding their climate commitments and reduction strategies would enhance their sustainability profile.
