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's emissions for 2022 were lower, at about 54,335,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 6,490,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, indicating a notable increase in overall emissions year-on-year. Despite the increase in emissions, Tecnoglass has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for reduction. Tecnoglass operates in the glass and aluminium sectors, where carbon emissions are a critical concern. The company has reported partial product carbon footprints, such as approximately 54,452 kg CO2e per square metre of processed glass and 6,903 kg CO2e per kilogram of processed painted and/or anodised extruded aluminium profiles. These figures highlight the environmental impact of their production processes and the importance of addressing emissions in their operations. As Tecnoglass continues to grow, its commitment to addressing climate change will be essential for aligning with industry standards and meeting stakeholder expectations.
