Tekna's reported carbon emissions
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 increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which indicates a growing impact from their supply chain and product lifecycle. In 2022, Tekna's emissions were approximately 1,371,600 kg CO2e, with 585,100 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 33,700 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 752,800 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023 highlights the challenges the company faces in managing its carbon footprint amidst expanding operations. Despite these figures, Tekna has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates within a sector that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, and as such, it may need to develop and communicate a clearer strategy for reducing its carbon emissions in the future.
