Ascendi's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Ascendi reported total carbon emissions of approximately 770,594,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,129,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 2,019,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 767,465,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, primarily attributed to the use of sold products. Over the years, Ascendi has shown fluctuations in its emissions. In 2022, total emissions were about 711,334,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 2,485,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 2,094,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 708,848,000 kg CO2e. The 2021 data indicated a peak in emissions at approximately 830,147,000 kg CO2e, driven largely by Scope 3 emissions of 827,538,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, there are currently no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Ascendi, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The company operates within a global context where many organisations are committing to significant emissions reductions, and Ascendi's lack of specific targets may impact its competitive positioning in the industry.
