Scope 1 emissions stood at about 399 million kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were around 809 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 9.9 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services (around 4.9 billion kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 3.4 billion kg CO2e) being the most substantial categories.

For 2022, Viohalco reported total emissions of approximately 1.45 billion kg CO2e. This included about 449 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and around 1 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions (market-based). Scope 3 emissions data were not disclosed for this year.

Viohalco's climate commitments are driven by a long-term strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The company's reporting indicates a focus on understanding and reducing its comprehensive carbon footprint across all scopes.
