In 2023, Tallink reported total carbon emissions of approximately 16,085,000 kg CO2e, which includes Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This figure represents a significant increase from 2022, when emissions were about 12,025,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates that Tallink has not disclosed specific Scope 3 emissions, which are often a substantial part of a company's overall carbon footprint. Despite the increase in emissions, there are currently no publicly stated reduction targets or initiatives from Tallink, as indicated by the absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets and other climate pledges. The company has not inherited any emissions data from a parent organization, and all reported figures are directly from AS Tallink Grupp. Tallink's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, as they have not outlined specific strategies or targets for reducing their carbon emissions in the future. The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that further transparency and action may be necessary for the company to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
