In 2023, Blue Horizon reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,301,796.1 kg CO2e, comprising 391,742 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 275,054.1 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 3,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 1 emissions included mobile combustion (about 61,304.4 kg CO2e) and fugitive emissions (approximately 272,276.1 kg CO2e). The Scope 2 emissions were primarily from purchased electricity (about 261,673.4 kg CO2e). In comparison, the previous year, 2022, saw total emissions of approximately 3,301,493.2 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 386,868 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 290,625.2 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Blue Horizon has set ambitious reduction targets, aiming for a 10% reduction in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025, compared to 2022 levels. This commitment focuses on enhancing energy efficiency through the rational use of resources and investment in more efficient equipment. The organisation does not currently report any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets, and there is no indication of emissions data being cascaded from a parent or related organisation. All emissions data is directly reported by Blue Horizon Corporation AG.
