In 2023, Zotefoams reported total carbon emissions of approximately 13,335,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 7,021,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity at around 6,314,000 kg CO2e. This marks a slight increase from 2022, when total emissions were approximately 12,961,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 6,932,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 6,029,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Zotefoams has seen fluctuations in its emissions, with 2021 recording the highest total emissions of about 14,210,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus on direct and indirect emissions from its operations and energy use. Zotefoams has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it participated in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have a comprehensive strategy in place for significant reductions. Overall, Zotefoams's emissions data reflects its ongoing efforts to monitor and report on its carbon footprint, but further commitments and strategies may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action.
