Supreme Industries

Supreme Industries, a plastics manufacturer headquartered in Indiana, reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions of approximately 1.74 billion kg CO2e in 2023. This includes about 13.9 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 180.3 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 1.55 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2023 were purchased goods and services (approximately 1.39 billion kg CO2e) and fuel- and energy-related activities (around 57.0 million kg CO2e).

In 2022, Supreme Industries reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 11.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 155.6 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data for 2022 was not fully disclosed.

Supreme Industries is committed to reducing its climate impact. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by FY2050, as recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This overarching commitment is supported by specific targets:

• Near-term targets by FY2034:
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 58.8% from a FY2024 base year.
  • Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, and upstream and downstream transportation and distribution by 63.8% per metric tonne of plastic product produced.
• Long-term targets by FY2050:
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% from a FY2024 base year.
  • Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, downstream transportation and distribution, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 97% per metric tonne of plastic product produced.

These targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions are consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.
