Uniper's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Uniper reported carbon emissions of approximately 19,400,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 sources, which primarily include emissions from stationary combustion. The company also recorded Scope 2 emissions of about 3,923,000 kg CO2e (market-based) and 538,846,000 kg CO2e (location-based). Additionally, Uniper's Scope 3 emissions totalled around 77,300,000,000 kg CO2e, encompassing various categories such as capital goods and the use of sold products. Uniper has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies under frameworks like the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively reporting its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive plan for reducing its carbon footprint in line with industry standards. Overall, Uniper's emissions data highlights the significant scale of its carbon output, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 3 categories, while also reflecting the need for more robust climate action commitments moving forward.
