Suominen's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Suominen reported total carbon emissions of approximately 493,342,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 44,495,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 55,314,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 493,342,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This indicates a comprehensive approach to tracking emissions throughout their value chain. Over the years, Suominen has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. For instance, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 93,363,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1 and 2 combined), which reflects a gradual decrease from previous years. The emissions per ton of product have also shown improvement, with figures dropping from 1,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to 790 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives documented under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This suggests that while Suominen is actively monitoring and reporting its emissions, it may benefit from establishing formal reduction targets to enhance its climate commitments further.
