Tecnoglass's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Tecnoglass reported total carbon emissions of approximately 390,411,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 82,992,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 3,383,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 304,036,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent organisation. In 2022, Tecnoglass's emissions were lower, with Scope 1 emissions at 54,335,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 6,490,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial increase in emissions in 2023. The absence of reported Scope 3 emissions data for 2022 suggests a growing focus on this area in their sustainability reporting. Tecnoglass operates in the glass and aluminium sectors, where carbon footprints are critical metrics. The company has provided partial product carbon footprint data, indicating that 1 m² of processed glass has a carbon footprint of about 41,929 kg CO2e, while 1 kg of processed painted and/or anodised extruded aluminium profile has a footprint of approximately 10,105 kg CO2e. Overall, while Tecnoglass has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of specific reduction targets or commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
