Wurth Elektronik's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Wurth Elektronik reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,848,000 kg CO2e, with both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions contributing equally to this figure. In 2022, the company recorded emissions of about 1,731,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight increase in emissions year-on-year. The emissions for 2021 were also reported at approximately 1,387,000 kg CO2e, while in 2019, the total emissions were significantly higher at about 16,458,880 kg CO2e, comprising 3,091,280 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 10,276,320 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite these figures, Wurth Elektronik has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Wurth Elektronik's future strategies will be crucial in addressing climate change and reducing emissions effectively.
