In 2023, Tekna reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,599,200 kg CO2e, comprising 589,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 29,100 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1,981,200 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a significant commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, as they have disclosed data across all three scopes. In 2022, Tekna's emissions were approximately 1,371,600 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined, with Scope 3 emissions reaching about 752,800 kg CO2e. The company has shown a progressive increase in emissions over the years, with total emissions rising from approximately 6,572,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to 6,572,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite the increase in emissions, Tekna has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect the company's current focus on operational growth rather than immediate emissions reduction strategies. Overall, Tekna's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and reporting, as well as the need for future commitments to reduce their carbon footprint in alignment with global climate goals.
