Werfen's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Werfen reported total carbon emissions of approximately 582,150 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 271,710 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,890 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 308,550 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This data reflects the company's commitment to transparency in its carbon footprint, as it encompasses all relevant scopes of emissions. Werfen's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported by Werfen, S.A. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting a potential area for future commitment. In 2020, Werfen's emissions were significantly lower, with a total of 218,610 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 39,880 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and only 3,430 kg CO2e from Scope 3, highlighting a substantial increase in emissions in 2021. This increase may warrant further investigation into the factors contributing to the rise in carbon output. Overall, while Werfen has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets or commitments indicates an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
