Boryung's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Boryung reported total carbon emissions of approximately 27,457,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This figure reflects a slight decrease from 2022, where emissions were about 27,499,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a progressive reduction in emissions over the years, with 2021 emissions recorded at approximately 24,857,000 kg CO2e and 2020 emissions at about 26,482,000 kg CO2e, which included 3,906,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 22,623,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite these reductions, Boryung has not set specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented climate pledges to further guide their emissions reduction efforts. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, indicating that these figures are independently reported by Boryung Corporation. Overall, while Boryung has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
