Weihenstephan-Triesdorf's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Weihenstephan-Triesdorf reported greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 0.793 kg CO2e per hectolitre (hl) of production. This figure reflects a slight decrease from 2022, where emissions were about 0.824 kg CO2e per hl. Over the past few years, emissions have shown variability, with 2021 at approximately 0.846 kg CO2e per hl and 2020 at about 0.767 kg CO2e per hl. The emissions data does not specify the scopes (Scope 1, 2, or 3) of these emissions, indicating a lack of detailed disclosure in this area. Currently, Weihenstephan-Triesdorf has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, nor have they disclosed any specific initiatives aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. The absence of such commitments suggests that while they are monitoring their emissions, they may not yet be actively pursuing a structured approach to climate action.
