Uniper's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Uniper reported carbon emissions of approximately 86,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 sources in Germany. The company's total global emissions for the same year included about 19,400,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 3,923,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and around 77,300,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Uniper's emissions data indicates a significant reliance on fossil fuels, particularly in its operations, as evidenced by the high Scope 1 emissions. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a need for clearer commitments to reduce its carbon footprint. Overall, while Uniper's emissions figures highlight the scale of its environmental impact, the absence of defined reduction targets raises questions about its long-term climate strategy and commitment to sustainability.
