In 2023, Synsam reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,266,700 kg CO2e, a reduction from about 1,477,300 kg CO2e in 2022. The emissions breakdown for 2023 includes approximately 201,700 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 3,602,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based).

The company has shown a notable decrease in emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 combined, reflecting their ongoing efforts to enhance sustainability practices.
