Befesa's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Befesa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,037,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 882,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 155,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This represents a significant increase from 2021, when emissions were about 797,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 695,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 102,000,000 kg CO2e. Befesa has consistently disclosed its emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 but has not reported any Scope 3 emissions. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future focus. The GHG intensity for Befesa in 2022 was reported at 560.0 tonnes CO2e per tonne, reflecting the company's operational efficiency in relation to its emissions. Overall, while Befesa has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that further commitments may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action.
