Wacker Neuson's reported carbon emissions
Wacker Neuson, headquartered in Germany, reported a total carbon emissions of approximately 18,740,000 kg CO2e in 2022, a slight increase from about 18,162,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The company’s emissions profile includes Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with no disclosed Scope 3 data. In 2019, Wacker Neuson emitted about 37,745,000 kg CO2e, which included approximately 16,590,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 21,154,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This indicates a significant reduction in total emissions over the years, particularly from 2019 to 2022. Despite these reductions, Wacker Neuson has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or reduction initiatives. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is making progress in reducing its carbon footprint, it may not yet have formalised its climate commitments in line with industry standards. The company’s emissions intensity has also improved, with a reported intensity of 0.00832 kg CO2e per EUR of revenue in 2022, down from 0.00973 kg CO2e in 2021. Overall, Wacker Neuson demonstrates a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions, although further transparency regarding specific climate pledges and targets would enhance its sustainability profile.
