The majority of their emissions, about 3,851,052,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded approximately 4,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 169,207,250 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at 3,952,039,150 kg CO2e. In 2021, the emissions were slightly lower, with Scope 1 at 138,474,830 kg CO2e and Scope 3 at 3,702,529,970 kg CO2e. Despite these substantial emissions figures, Termocandelaria S.C.A. E.S.P. has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Overall, while the emissions data indicates a significant environmental impact, the lack of clear reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their sustainability efforts.
