Werfen's reported carbon emissions

In 2020, Werfen reported emissions data indicating a carbon footprint of approximately 0.00513 tonnes CO2e per £1 million in revenue, alongside an employee-related emission factor of about 3.1 kg CO2e per employee. However, specific Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data were not disclosed, limiting the visibility of their overall carbon impact. Currently, Werfen has not established any formal reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they made commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This absence of defined climate commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have a structured plan for significant reductions or climate action. As Werfen is headquartered in Spain (ES), it operates within a region increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon neutrality, which may influence future commitments and strategies.
