Tekna's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Tekna reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28,340,100 kg CO2e, with a breakdown of 595,900 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 13,900 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 111,194,600 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 2 emissions were primarily from purchased electricity, with regional contributions of 1,200 kg CO2e from China, 800 kg CO2e from the US, 200 kg CO2e from South Korea, and 5,900 kg CO2e from France. Tekna's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Tekna Holding ASA, which is part of the corporate family under Arendals Fossekompani ASA. This relationship influences their sustainability reporting and emissions tracking. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Tekna has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. Overall, Tekna's emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, to align with global climate goals.
