The company has consistently disclosed its emissions data, with a notable increase in Scope 1 emissions from 1,289,588,690 kg CO2e in 2022, while Scope 2 emissions decreased from 847,208,900 kg CO2e in the same year. Vitro has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and improvement.
