Walco's reported carbon emissions
Walco's carbon emissions data is not available for the most recent year, with the latest recorded emissions from 2015. In that year, the company reported emissions across various categories, but specific total emissions figures in kg CO2e were not provided. The emissions data includes production factors for wood briquettes, straw pellets, biogas from wet manure, and heat generated from biogas, although these are not quantified in terms of total emissions. Currently, Walco does not have documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any other climate pledges. This lack of specific reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In the context of the industry, it is essential for companies like Walco to establish clear emissions reduction targets and commitments to align with global climate goals. As the focus on sustainability intensifies, setting measurable targets will be crucial for improving their environmental impact and enhancing their reputation in the market.
