In 2023, Boryung reported total carbon emissions of approximately 27,457,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects a slight decrease from 2022, where emissions were about 27,499,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Boryung has shown a trend of increasing emissions, 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 293,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite the fluctuations in emissions, Boryung has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it has yet to establish formalised strategies for significant reductions. Overall, Boryung's emissions data indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments and actionable reduction strategies to align with global sustainability goals.
